4. Karl Joseph, safety, Raiders

It feels like half of this list has been full of Raiders and Cardinals. Well, they are now tied at two players apiece with Joseph evening the score. Joseph would make the most sense of just about anyone on this list. He plays a position of need for the Packers and would immediately be the best safety on their roster.

Joseph, like many others on this list, is a former first round pick. However, Jon Gruden appears set on getting rid of his whole team and starting over fresh. That should allow Gutekunst the option of stealing a solid contributor from Oakland.

Joseph can do a little bit of everything from the safety position and would provide Pettine with a lot of options anf flexibility. Should the Packers make a trade for Joseph, he’d immediately shore up one of the weakest spots on their roster.
