Round 7, Pick 232: RB Josh Adams, Notre Dame

Adams had a moment during the year where he was getting Heisman buzz. Notre Dame had their typical mid-to-late season collapse and Adams fell off the face of the Earth. I’m not sure if he ever was a great draft prospect, but he was a fantastic college running back.

He would be the biggest Packers running back on the roster and probably the most powerful. He would fill a very niche role on the team as a bruiser between the tackles, but may not even get those carries unless he really impresses in camp. This is a good spot to simply add more depth and versatility to a position I like for the Packers. If Adams pans out in the NFL he could be a complimentary short-yardage back.

Round 7, Pick 239: OT Brett Toth, Army

I find it hard to imagine with 12 picks the Packers don’t at least take two offensive linemen. We’ll finish up here.

Toth was a tackle in school but may be a guard in the NFL. He has good run blocking traits because of Army’s triple-option offense, and plenty of experience there. As a pass blocker he’s very raw and inexperienced. He won’t be called upon to do much as a late seventh-round pick. The Packers shouldn’t need his help immediately.

The Packers have a lot of holes to fill and luckily have the draft capital to do it. There isn’t much they could do to mess this draft up as long as they draft heavy on defense and playmakers.
