The latest Green Bay Packers mock draft roundup focuses on the pass rush and the secondary, and also includes a couple of fun trades.

The 2018 NFL Draft is under two weeks away, and the Green Bay Packers have a number of needs. The three-day event will tell us a lot about Brian Gutekunst’s approach as general manager. How will we address the team’s biggest needs, and will be actively looking to trade up or down throughout the draft? It’s going to be interesting to watch his game plan unfold.

Cornerback is arguably the team’s biggest weakness. This week the Packers re-signed Davon House to a one-year deal. Gutekunst has also brought back Tramon Williams, who left Green Bay three years ago, the same offseason House also departed. While these two will add experience to the secondary, and Williams played well in Arizona last season, corner remains a concern. That is especially true after the team traded away Damarious Randall for DeShone Kizer.

The Packers enter the draft with 12 picks. I find it hard to believe they will make that many selections. Gutekunst should look to trade up at some stage in the draft, although depending on how many quarterbacks come off the board early in the first round, he may not need to on Day 1.

Let’s take a look around the internet, rounding up a number of mock drafts to get a clearer idea of who draft experts believes could fall to the Packers at No. 14.
