It is only the third week of June, but 2021 NFL Mock Drafts are being released. Let’s take a peek at who the Green Bay Packers are ending up with.

NFL Mock Drafts in June? That’s right, NFL Mock Drafts in June.

For those who cover the NFL and College Football, the draft has turned into a year-round business. And that means that even in the month of June, NFL mock Drafts are being released.

When it comes to the Green Bay Packers, they are coming off a 2020 NFL Draft that may still have fans, analysts, and NFL media members scratching their heads. With needs at tackle, receiver, interior defensive lineman, and linebacker to name a few, the Packers would go totally off script with their first few selections.

As we all know they would trade up in Round 1 for quarterback Jordan Love. They took running back A.J. Dillon in Round 2, and then soon to be H-back Josiah Deguara in Round 3. As a result, the Packers didn’t exactly receive high-marks when it came to their draft grades, but truthfully we won’t know how good or bad this class was for a few years.

If Love becomes a capable starting quarterback, then that alone is probably enough to consider this draft a success. However, in the short-term, it’s fair to wonder how much – if at all – the Packers have actually improved compared to last season.

So as we look ahead to next year’s draft, all the positions mentioned above could still be needs, along with whatever other needs arise over the course of this upcoming season.

Without a doubt, things are going to change between now and next offseason as the Green Bay Packers identify new needs or fix current ones, while the draft stock of just about every college football player is also going to rise and fall.

But if anything, here are some names to keep your eyes on this college season. And spoiler alert, there are a lot of wide receivers.
