3 Moves the Green Bay Packers Need to Make After the NFL Draft
By Paul Bretl
Look for a CB, IDL, and WR in Free Agency
As I mentioned already, a number of the Green Bay Packers pressing needs weren’t addressed in the draft or if they were, it didn’t happen until Day 3 and those just aren’t players that can be counted on to contribute right away. So exploring free agency is now the best avenue to find some immediate impact players at these positions.
While it’s been a bit overlooked this offseason, the cornerback position should still be addressed with the Packers needing some added depth since there are question marks within this unit after Jaire Alexander and Kevin King.

Meanwhile, at defensive tackle, we all saw how last season went against the run, especially in the NFC Championship Game. So Green Bay should be looking for a run-stuffer to provide Kenny Clark some help inside.
And then there is the wide receiver position, which after how the draft went I’m not even sure that this position is on their radar as it looks like the offense is shifting to a more run-oriented system. With that said, after the underwhelming performances last season, adding another receiver to the mix is certainly something that Gutey should be looking into.
A few names at these positions that I think could be good fits and also won’t break the bank include Tramon Williams, Snacks Harrison, and Taylor Gabriel.
