The Green Bay Packers desperately need to hit on the 2018 NFL Draft, and not just at the top. Here are five sleepers they should consider.

The Green Bay Packers are used to being the hunted in the NFC and the NFC North. However, things changed last season after the Minnesota Vikings went 13-3 and reached the NFC Championship game. Now, Green Bay is the one doing the hunting.

That means they must use all avenues available to improve their team and close the gap between themselves and the defending division champs.

Of course, getting MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers back will help a great deal, but they will need more of a team effort than ever before. And that’s where we enter draft success.

The Packers desperately need to hit on at least one of their top picks this season, but it would go a long way if they hit on a later-round selection as well. Teams are sparked all the time by guys becoming valuable contributors after having minimal initial expectations.

Here are five candidates who shouldn’t be overlooked and could be the difference maker the Packers need to not only get back to the playoffs, but the Super Bowl as well.
