The Green Bay Packers hold the No. 14 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, so let’s check in on the top 14 players on their big board.

Thanks to the plethora of quarterbacks and quarterback-needy teams, the Green Bay Packers should be in a pretty good position with their 14th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft.

Green Bay has a couple of needs on both sides of the ball, but none more glaring than at cornerback. The Packers have signed Tramon Williams and Davon House and have roster holdovers Kevin King and Quinten Rollins as well. But that’s not nearly enough to compete with the majority of passing attacks in today’s NFL.

If they are lucky enough, one of the top corners will slide down to them at 14 and they won’t be forced to reach for a player who’s likely to go later in the draft.

With the draft less than two weeks away, new general manager Brian Gutekunst already has his big board in place and is just putting the final touches on it.

There’s no way to know exactly what he and his staff are thinking, but I thought I’d try a little fun exercise and rank the top 14 players on the Packers’ big board. There are no quarterbacks on this list, but that’s not saying Green Bay wouldn’t draft Sam Darnold or Josh Rosen if they fell to them (they won’t).

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the Packers’ wish list of player in descending order.
