1. Greg Newsome II

Greg Newsome would be an amazing pickup for the Packers, but it’d likely require some sort of a minor miracle for him to fall to Green Bay or they’d have to trade up to select him.

In the most recent edition of NFL.com’s four-round mock draft, the Packers do just that, as they send their 29th overall pick and two fourth-rounders to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for their 21st overall pick and the opportunity to select Newsome.

Newsome is a rising prospect who balances a high football I.Q., strength and athleticism to make his game very well-rounded. He can help in run support, read his man running routes, and understands the game. One of the biggest knocks is his lack of collegiate experience, but he could quickly catch up in the pros.
