Christian Watson trade shakes up Packers 7-round mock draft following NFL Combine
Round 5 (168): Roger Rosengarten, OL, Washington
Especially with 11 selections in this draft, there's really no way you could not draft at least one offensive lineman. Brian Gutekunst has an excellent track record of finding talented offensive linemen on Day 3 of the draft. Especially with David Bakhtiari not likely being in Green Bay much longer and with Jon Runyan Jr. hitting free agency, the Packers will understandably be looking out for some more young offensive linemen for Adam Stenavich to mold.
Roger Rosengarten is an intriguing athlete on the offensive line who will probably have to start going higher in mock drafts after his Scouting Combine performance. But he fell to this pick slot in this simulation, and if that were to happen in real life, perhaps the Packers wouldn't hesitate to call his name.
Round 6 (204): Cedric Johnson, EDGE, Ole Miss
Another prospect with explosive traits that could be of interest to the Green Bay Packers on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft, Cedric Johnson had some consistent production over the last handful of years at Ole Miss.
With his traits, he could contribute instantly on special teams and perhaps be a factor down the road in the pass rush rotation. The Packers add some depth at edge rusher for Jeff Hafley.
