2018 Packers Draft Choices

Mock Packers Draft Choices
April 26 - 28, 2018

Updated 04/12/19

The greatest needs for 2019 are: Biggest needs: TE, OL, S, ILB, WR It's clear that Green Bay has to get Aaron Rodgers more help -- signing Billy Turner and Marcedes Lewis, while nice, isn't going to be enough. They need to add another offensive playmaker to the mix, and tight end would be the first place to look, with Jimmy Graham seemingly in decline. The Packers addressed their need for edge rushers in free agency, but there's room for upgrades at inside 'backer and depth at safety. 1. Offensive Tackle AND Guard - They need a starter at Guard and a backup Tackle 1. Tight End - They've proven how good the offense can be with a receiving Tight End (re: Jermichael Finley & Jared Cook). 2. Outside Linebacker - With Smith & Smith signed this isn't as great of a need BUT I'm not convinced they're IMPACT players. 3. Safety - Even with signing Amos, I think another Safety is needed. 4. QB - Backup QB situation is not good. Kizer looked just as bad as Hundley. 5. DE/DT that can play both run & pass. The Packers didn't receive any compensatory picks.
