Green Bay Packers: 7 Round Mock Draft Simulation & Big Takeaways
By Paul Bretl
Round 5, Pick 157: Lamar Jackson CB – Nebraska
Joe Marino’s Analysis:
"“Long and physical corner that consistently plays up to his weight class. Willing to crowd receivers early, leverage their release and make it difficult to release into their routes. Very effective getting his hands on opponents in the contact window and redirecting their intentions in their route stems. Has developed his ball production and he has the length needed to both disrupt at the catch point and increase his margin for error as a pattern matcher. More than willing to be physical on the perimeter as a run defender and tackler.”"
I see Nebraska DB Lamar Jackson as a day two or three pick in the NFL Draft. His length (6'3") will be attractive to a lot of teams, but his balls skills are what makes him next level. #WNSFilm pic.twitter.com/dEJf8Z2ASH

Round 6, Pick 172: Calvin Throckmorton OT – Oregon
Kyle Crabbs’ Analysis:
"“He’s a powerful lineman, possessing a lot of punch and pop in his frame when’s he’s closed into tight spaces and able to release vertically out of his stance at the snap. Shows some effective outside zone mobility and can climb to the second level to address defenders scraping over top of the play. Brings a tenacious approach to the field and is persistent in his efforts to uproot defenders along the point of attack. Throckmorton does a nice job keeping his head on a swivel for any incoming rushers when left unattended in gap pass protection.”"
Oregon's OL is my frontrunner to be the best line in college football this season. RT Calvin Throckmorton, C Jake Hanson, and LG Shane Lemieux are the most well-known...and I love watching RG Dallas Warmack (Chance's brother) too pic.twitter.com/w6oey8S9gj

Round 6, Pick 189: Sewo Olonilua RB – TCU
A.J. Schulte’s (of the Pro Football Network) Analysis:
"“Olonilua harkens back to the mold of hulking, powerful runners. At 6-foot-3, 235 lbs, Olonilua is one of the biggest running backs in the country. Unfortunately for him, this mold is quickly dying out in the NFL, with teams preferring shiftier, faster runners who catch well. However, there’s a place for guys like Olonilua in the league. Guys with his near-freakish power and work ethic are rare indeed.”"
