10. Tyrann Mathieu, Safety
Mathieu could be the versatile playmaker the Packers severely lack in their secondary. He didn’t get the contract he was looking for last season, but that might change this time around.
9. Grady Jarrett, Defensive Tackle
Jarrett is far more talented than number nine on this list, but his fit is the biggest question mark. At 25-years-old, he still has his best football ahead of him and is unlikely to leave Atlanta.
8. Landon Collins, Safety
All the safeties rise up this list because of Green Bay’s dire need. He’s coming off a shoulder injury that ended his season and didn’t play his best football last season. We’ll see if it affects his contract.
7. Frank Clark, Defensive End
Clark would be an interesting fit with the Packers. Regardless of his position, he loves to get after the quarterback and disrupt an offense’s rhythm.
6. Trey Flowers, Defensive End
Flowers is a much better fit in the Packers’ scheme than Clark even if he isn’t as disruptful. He’s a do a little bit of everything type of player.
5. Le’Veon Bell, Running Back
Everyone knows about Bell who sat out the entire 2018 season because of a contract dispute. He’s certainly the most talented running back in the NFL, but for how much longer?
4. Earl Thomas, Safety
Thomas wants to become the highest paid safety ever. Even though he’s supremely talented, that’s a bit of a risk considering his age and recent injury.
3. Dee Ford, Edge
Ford would immediately upgrade the speed on the Packers’ defense. He also uses that speed to get after the quarterback and live in the backfield.
2. Jadeveon Clowney, Edge
Clowney is a disruptive force in both the pass and run games. He’d immediately bring star power to Green Bay and it could be shades of the Reggie White signing in the 90’s that helped get the team over the hump.
1. Demarcus Lawrence, Edge
Lawrence is the best available free agent at any position and is one of the best players at his position. He’d be an absolute game-changer for the Packers.
