Green Bay Packers seven-round mock draft 2.0

Pick No. 114: Josh Oliver, TE – San Jose State

Currently, none of the Green Bay Packers tight ends that are on the roster are guaranteed to be there in 2020. So I thought it was important to address the position again, even with the Hockenson selection at 30.

Oliver is a very good athlete and if we are going to make a comparison, Jimmy Graham is an obvious choice. He is a very good pass catcher and at San Jose State he would line up in-line, in the slot or outwide. However, like Graham, Oliver can struggle as a run blocker and will have to improve in that area. But even with the tight end depth that Green Bay has, he could be making an impact in the passing game by the end of next season.

Pick No. 118: Tytus Howard, OT – Alabama State

For me anyways, there are some concerns with the Green Bay Packers offensive line heading into next season, and it is a position that I strongly considered addressing earlier in the draft, but given the way the board fell it didn’t make sense.

In selecting Howard, it is known that this move is made for the future. He still needs work on his technique as well as he needs to get stronger to be able to consistently compete with the NFL’s pass rushers. However, he has all the measurables and athleticism you want in your offensive tackle and after a year or two of grooming, he could take over at right tackle for Bryan Bulaga.

Pick No. 150: Emeke Egbule, LB – Houston

We know that Blake Martinez can be relied on, but there are still a lot of questions surrounding Oren Burks and how he will look in year two, so adding another off-ball linebacker to the mix in this year’s draft, isn’t a bad idea.

Egbule was a late bloomer who still has some work to do but is a legitimate option in coverage. His athleticism allows him to do very well in space and makes him a very versatile defender, playing man or zone, as well as being able to seal the edge on running plays. Mike Pettine would love to have this type of player at linebacker.
