Green Bay Packers: 5 players to avoid in the first round

With the Green Bay Packers holding the 14th overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, here are five players they absolutely must avoid.

The Green Bay Packers hold the No. 14 selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, a position they aren’t used to selecting from. The last time they drafted nearly this high was in 2009 when they took the retired B.J. Raji with the No. 9 overall pick.

After Aaron Rodgers went down with his collarbone injury last season, the Packers’ roster was completely exposed and ensured everyone knew they were far from a good team without their MVP quarterback on the field.

That exposure has left fans in a bit of a panic this offseason. New general manager Brian Gutekunst was more active in the first part of free agency than Ted Thompson ever was. He signed Jimmy Graham, Muhammad Wilkerson and Tramon Williams to fill some of their needs. However, Green Bay still has a few holes remaining.

Hopefully, they can use their first-round pick, among other selections, to address some of their concerns and rely on the rookie production to propel them back into the playoffs.

In order for them to draft a difference-maker, however, they must avoid these five players with their first-round pick.
