114th Overall- S Jaquan Johnson, Miami

Johnson may not be a top safety in this year’s class but he provides versatility and a hard-nosed mentality on the back end. His ball skills are solid with eight career interceptions and he is comfortable lining up in the box with the asset of being a sure tackler.

As a member of the Packers, he would be a nice two-high safety to combine with Adrian Amos. Johnson has good range and is aggressive against the run with above average play strength and speed. He might even be able to line up in the slot occasionally or cover speedy threats out of the backfield.

Green Bay will need to add a safety at some point during the 2019 draft and Johnson would be a solid addition.

118th Overall- RB Justice Hill, Oklahoma State

Hill would compliment the Packers backfield as a nice receiving threat and good depth piece. His college numbers are surprising with 3,539 career rushing yards, 30 rushing touchdowns, and 304 receiving yards.

Green Bay has a tactful one-two punch with Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, however, it wouldn’t hurt to add another player that might provide a different look. Jones has had durability issues and Williams does not appear to be an every-down back. Hill is a safe pick that could turn out to be a solid rotational player in a few years.

Not to mention, he carries a solid 5-11 200-pound frame with 4.4 speed.

150th Overall- CB Mark Fields, Clemson

Yes, the Packers go corner again at some point during the 2019 draft. Fields is a smooth cover corner that can compete on special teams early on. He could also be a reliable emergency corner in case of injury.

Fields is a good athlete that came up big on a national stage last season. On a team other than Clemson, he might have been one of the top corners in this class but he is still a nice sleeper. Fields has the potential to be an option for the slot in Green Bay with his solid tackling and ability to mirror the foot speed of quick receivers.
