Packers seven-round mock draft ahead of free agency
Round 3
Josh’s pick: Jerome Baker, ILB, Ohio State
The Packers are looking for a steady reliable inside linebacker to play alongside Blake Martinez. Jake Ryan has played good but not great. Baker is not considered top shelf right now but he looks like he has the potential to blossom into a star.
Michael’s pick: Jerome Baker, ILB, Ohio State
The Packers need a versatile LB who can stay healthy and there’s no reason why Baker couldn’t be that guy. Baker is strong, smart with his movements, and an overall scary LB. He is someone the Packers should definitely go after.
Round 4
Josh’s pick: Marquis Haynes, EDGE/LB, Ole Miss
When asked at the Senior Bowl what position he plays, he answered “on defense”. While he lacks a true position, his skill set is based in blitzing the QB.
Michael’s pick: Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan
Hurst lacks some raw power but under the right guidance in 2018 he should turn up just fine as he presents a lot of key qualities to eventually become a great defensive tackle.
Round 5
Josh’s pick: Shaquem Griffin, OLB, UCF
One of the more inspirational stories in football lately, the one-handed linebacker has shown that he is a force on the field. The Packers need depth at the position and Griffin will no doubt find his way to starting.
Michael’s pick: Shaquem Griffin, OLB, UCF
A very inspirational player who inspires not only me but other football players alike. Shaquem presents so much that can turn him into a top guy.
