The 2019 NFL Combine has come to a close, so that means it
is time for everybody to update their mock drafts.
Round 1A: Montez Sweat/OLB/Mississippi State- For the first
time in a while, the Packers are in a position high enough in the draft where
they can get a true impact edge rusher from the top of the draft. Sweat is a
monster who will fit like a glove in Mike Pettine’s scheme.
Round 1B: Noah Fant/TE/Iowa- The Packers need to stop
kicking the can down the road at the tight end position and they need to get
younger, better player. Fant, who is a pass catcher first, but can also block,
will fit well in Matt LaFleur’s offense that he is bringing to Green Bay.
Round 2: Nasir Adderley/S/Delaware- Adderley is an athlete
from a small school who shot up the boards during the combine, he fits well, he
is the grandson of the cousin of Packers Hall of Fame corner back Herb Adderley.
Round 3: Kaleb McGary/OT/Washington- The Packers need to fix
the right side of that offensive line via the draft and free agency. McGary has
a lot of talent, and could be the Packers right tackle down the road.
Round 4A: Greg Gaines/DL/Washington- Adding depth to the
defensive line in the middle rounds of the draft every year is a must. At 6’2”
and 316 pounds, Gaines is a big body who could be a nice rotational player up
front in Green Bay.
Round 4B: Austin Bryant/OLB/Clemson- This is a selection
with massive boom or bust potential. At 6’6”, 280 pounds, Bryant is a heck of
an athlete. If Mike Pettine can motivate him to play to his full potential, the
Packers just won the lottery.
Round 5: Zach Gentry/TE/Michigan- At 6’8”, 262 pounds,
Gentry would be a good fit as a blocker and third tight
end.
Round 6A: Antoine Wesley/WR/Texas Tech- The Packers did well
last year with their trio of rookie receivers. Now they could add someone
behind them. At 6’5”, 200 pounds, Wesley is an intriguing prospect.
Round 6B: Marquise Blair/S/Utah- In addition to a safety
high in the draft, they could also use one late. Blair could provide depth and
play special teams.
Round 7: Dakota Allen/LB/Texas Tech- to finish the draft,
the Packers could add some depth on the inside of the linebacking unit.
