It’s almost Draft Day, and to celebrate, here is the final Green Bay Packers mock draft roundup of the year.

On Thursday night, we’ll find out who the Green Bay Packers‘ two first-round selections will be.

Currently, those picks are scheduled to be at No. 12 overall an No. 30, but that could of course change if there is a trade.

Assuming the Packers stay at their current positions in the first round, let’s take a look at some of the possible scenarios that could play out.

Brad Weiss (FanSided)

Some Packers fans wouldn’t love the idea of selecting an offensive lineman at No. 12, but while it might not be as exciting as drafting a wide receiver or running back, it’s every bit as important. And the Packers need help along the offensive line. Brad Weiss of FanSided has them landing one of the top tackles in the class — Florida’s Jawaan Taylor — with the 12th pick on Thursday night.

With the 30th selection, the Packers stick to the offense by selecting Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown.

Charles Davis (NFL.com)

Charles Davis of NFL.com also has Green Bay going offense with the 12th-overall pick, but instead of a tackle, it’s Iowa tight end Noah Fant. Tight end is a major need and with T.J. Hockenson already off the board, Fant would be a fantastic choice at 12.

Davis has Michigan linebacker Devin Bush falling to the 30th pick, which would be a great scenario for the Pack.

Chris Trapasso (CBS Sports)

Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports also has the Packers selecting Fant at number 12, but he has Green Bay going in a different direction later on, picking Missouri quarterback Drew Lock at number 30. Much like in 2005, could the Packers surprise everyone by drafting a QB in the opening round?

Luke Easterling (Draft Wire)

The draft is unpredictable. And to highlight that, Charles Davis’ mock had Devin Bush falling to No. 30, but Luke Easterling of Draft Wire has the Packers using the 12th overall pick to land the Michigan linebacker. Either way works for me — if Green Bay can get a quality starter on defense, it’s good news.

Easterling has Green Bay addressing the offensive line at number 30, selecting Boston College’s Chris Lindstrom, a potential Day 1 starter at guard.
