Green Bay Packers: 2019 7-round mock draft 1.0

It’s mock draft time! The Green Bay Packers hold 10 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft so let’s play them all out to see who Green Bay ends up with.

The Green Bay Packers are getting ready to finish up the 2018 NFL season and have a lot of work to do. Although the playoffs aren’t completely out of the picture, they are very unlikely at this point. As the team and players try to make the improbable happen, the scouts and front office have an eye on the upcoming draft.

They’ve been working hard all season and are preparing to get their last, live, in-game look during the Bowl season. However, there will still be many more opportunities to evaluate the players during the combine, private workouts and interviews.

As the front office does their work, let’s check in on our first seven-round 2019 mock draft of the season. Green Bay holds ten selections overall including six in the first four rounds. Let’s start backward with the Packers seventh round pick:

Round 7, 228th pick: Alex Eberle, center, Florida State University

The Packers choose to go with some depth along their offensive line for their final pick of the draft. Eberle will provide direct backup to stud Corey Linsley and will have every opportunity to make the final roster.

Round 6, 199th pick: Dennis Daley, offensive tackle. South Carolina

Jason Spriggs pretty much looks like a bust at this point and the Packers should begin looking other places for a long-term backup. That’s where Daley can come in. He might move inside, but if he stays at tackle, the Packers would love to develop him into a quality backup.

Round 6, 187th pick: J.R. Reed, safety, Georgia

Green Bay has a couple of options at safety, but none of them seem to be any good. Kentrell Brice, Josh Jones and Tramon Williams have all struggled. There’s rumor Green Bay might move cornerback Josh Jackson to safety in the offseason so that’s another option as well. However, Reed would give Green Bay yet another player to throw into the mix to see if they can come up with a playmaker.

Round 5, pick 151: Stanley Morgan Jr, wide receiver, Nebraska

With Randall Cobb likely gone, the Packers decide to add another young receiver to the mix. Their trio of rookies this year in J’Mon Moore, Equanimeous St. Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling look promising, but it never hurts to have a little more depth at the position.

Round 4, pick 117: Kristian Fulton, cornerback, LSU

With Jackson’s potential move to safety and Kevin King‘s inability to stay healthy, the Packers pickup Fulton in the fourth round in order to provide them with more insurance at the position.

Round 4, pick 114: Zach Gentry, tight end, Michigan

Jimmy Graham hasn’t panned out like the Packers were hoping and they have a couple of veterans behind him in Marcedes Lewis and Lance Kendricks. Robert Tonyan might have a future, but the Packers need to start getting some other young talent at the positon which is where Gentry comes in at.

Round 3, pick 75: Austin Bryant, edge, Clemson

The Packers biggest need comes at outside linebacker and they get some help here with Bryant. Hopefully, Bryant can turn into a player for the Green and Gold and provide them with some much-needed pass rush from their front seven.

Round 2, pick 44: Cody Ford, offensive tackle, Oklahoma

Spoiler alert: This is the Packers only offensive pick in the first three rounds. Nobody knows what’s going to happen with Bryan Bulaga and whether the Packers will bring him back or cut him. Ford provides the Packers with a potential replacement and someone who can step in right away and help protect Aaron Rodgers.

Round 1, pick 30: Jaquan Johnson, safety, Miami

With Ha Ha Clinton-Dix traded in mid-season, Johnson gives the Packers a potential long-term replacement. Johnson will have every opportunity to start from Day 1 and give the Packers a steady player they’ve been looking for.

Round 1, pick 12: Clelin Ferrell, edge, Clemson

Both Clay Matthews and Nick Perry are possibly gone after the season which means outside linebacker is the Packers’ biggest need. It makes sense they address it right away with the addition of Ferrell who can become a stud in the NFL.
