Packers’ mock draft round 4 (135th overall): Marlon Tuipulotu, IDL, USC

With two selections in the fourth round, I used the first one to add some depth to the defensive line. The Packers already lost Montravius Adams while Tyler Lancaster wasn’t tendered either. That could leave them extremely thin upfront.

Marlon Tuipulotu could potentially give them a player who can play all three downs. He’s a good athlete who never stops working on defense. That type of effort and energy would fit right in with Kenny Clark. He’s a good run defender which the Packers desperately need.

Packers’ mock draft round 4 (142nd overall): Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson

Although the Packers have a solid top five with Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Equanimous St. Brown and Devin Funchess, it’s unlikely all of those guys return in 2022. That means they need to add some fresh blood for the future.

Amari Rodgers isn’t the typical height the Packers like for their wide receiver position, but he is a bonafide playmaker. Head coach Matt LaFleur would love to use him in the slot and all over the field as someone whose incredibly dangerous with the ball in his hands.
