Packers make big splash in seven-round mock draft

Round 6

Marquez Stevenson is the perfect example of a boom-or-bust prospect. He has a lot of tools that could make him a dynamic player in the NFL, but he is still relatively raw. He is kind of like a Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He has great speed which can stretch the defense and has some kick return ability, but he definitely has some flaws, which is why he is available in the sixth round.

Stevenson has a history of injuries, so his durability is a red flag. His route running also needs some work, but that can be taught. And who better to learn from than Davante Adams, the best route-runner in the game? If the Packers want to take a chance on a receiver, Stevenson might be the guy to do it with.

Depth in the secondary is always a good thing. The Packers are set right now with Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage as starters, but there isn’t a ton behind them. Breeze isn’t the most talented or gifted safety, but he’s smart. He will also provide the Packers with some more special team play, something the Packers can always use.

Round 7

The Packers cut Christian Kirksey loose because of his larger cap hit, but they also have Krys Barnes and Kamal Martin in the starting spots. Depth is important to the position, so at some point, the Packers will have to address it in the draft.

Tuf Borland is a player that could contribute on both defense and special teams. He has played on one of the top defenses in the country for the past few years. Special teams would be the goal for Borland here, but getting playing time on defense would be a bonus.
