Green Bay Packers draft 2019: Pre-combine big board top 12
3. Josh Allen, EDGE, Kentucky
The Packers have all the tools to move up in the draft in order to grab someone like Josh Allen. They have an extra first round pick at the end of the first, as well as an extra fourth and sixth. Unfortunately, they weren’t awarded any compensatory picks for the first time since 2009. Still, their 10 total picks in the 2019 NFL Draft give them a lot of ammo to move up if they so desire.
Allen would be the perfect player to move up for. He’s a great fit as a 3-4 outside linebacker and can do everything well. He’s a great pass rusher and can drop in coverage as well. He’ll be able to contribute right away even though he still has some refining to do on his skillset. If the Packers call Allen’s name on draft day, you know something went right for Green Bay.
2. Quinnen Williams, DL, Alabama
Williams had a huge season in 2018 and replaced Oliver as the top defensive line prospect because of it. The stud lineman for Alabama racked up 71 total tackles, 19.5 for a loss, and eight sacks to go along with it. Talk about dominant.
Williams has elite quickness for a lineman and uses it to get off the ball right away. He’s then able to go around potential blockers using his quickness and pass-rush moves. As he continues to develop his moves and counters, he will become an absolute force in the NFL.
