Packers trade down in latest two-round mock draft
Just over a week away from the start of the 2019 NFL Draft, here are our latest two-round predictions for the Green Bay Packers.
After a strong free agency, can the Green Bay Packers complete their mini-rebuild by making the most of their 10 selections in the draft next week?
With so many picks comes added flexibility, and there’s a chance the Packers could look to trade at some point over the weekend. And that includes on the opening night, as GM Brian Gutekunst proved by moving twice on Day 1 last year.
In this mock draft we’ll focus on the opening two rounds. The Packers are scheduled to pick three times in those rounds — twice in the first round (No. 12 and No. 30 overall), and once in the second round (No. 30).
With needs at many positions — offensive line, tight end, safety, edge rusher among others — it’s difficult to predict the direction the Packers will go with their early picks. A lot will depend on the board and who is still available with each pick.
Like in free agency, will defense be the top focus for Gutekunst over the three-day event? Maybe he’ll look to add more pass-rush depth or draft a linebacker early. Or perhaps the attention will turn to the offense, a unit that underperformed for much of 2018.
Let’s begin. Here’s our latest Green Bay Packers two-round mock draft.
