Packers’ mock draft Round 6 (209th overall): Austin Watkins, WR, UAB

Going back to wide receiver, Austin Watkins out of UAB is the pick with the first selection in the sixth round. Watkins spent most of his collegiate career playing in the JUCO ranks before transferring to UAB. He certainly doesn’t lack confidence and does a tremendous job going and getting the football when it’s in the air. His biggest area for improvement is that he struggles to create separation from cornerbacks, forcing him to make numerous tough catches.

Packers’ mock draft Round 6 (217th overall): Josh Sills, IOL, Oklahoma State

I also added another interior offensive lineman in Josh Sills to the Packers’ roster, as you can never have enough talent up front. Green Bay might also have to replace some depth in the coming years, with Linsley and Lane Taylor free agents this year, Lucas Patrick in 2022 and Elgton Jenkins in 2023.
