Green Bay Packers 7 Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft–It is Time

It’s Mock Draft Monday, but instead of doing our usual Roundup and Takeaways, I’ll be posting my first seven-round mock draft of the offseason. Using Pro Football Focus’ mock draft simulator, I was quite happy with how things turned out for the Green Bay Packers, striking a balance of immediate contributors, upside, and planning for the future.

So let’s not waste any time and just dive right into my first seven-round 2021 NFL mock draft for the Green Bay Packers.

Pick 29: Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU

I was open to the idea of trading out of Round 1, given the talent at positions of need; however, with Moehrig available, that wasn’t going to happen–I was thrilled to land him. Moehrig really is an ideal fit for Joe Barry’s defense that tasks his safeties with playing closer to the line of scrimmage. Moehrig played about a third of his snaps at TCU from the box and nearly half in the slot, where he could potentially contribute right away as well.

With Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage, safety isn’t a huge need, but Moehrig’s versatility allows him to affect the game closer to the line of scrimmage, and in this new system, safety play is vital to the defense’s success, and their job is difficult.

Pick 62: Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina

Adding another weapon to this already potent offense certainly isn’t a bad thing, but currently, the Green Bay Packers have no receivers under contract beyond the 2021 season either. Brown posted back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons at UNC and is someone who will contribute right away as a downfield threat and on slants or quick passes over the middle.

Pick 92: Brady Christensen, OT, BYU

Fortunately, this is a deep tackle class because I wasn’t able to address the need until Round 3. Right now, the Green Bay Packers lack some serious depth at the position, and with Billy Turner’s future after this season an unknown, the Packers don’t have their right tackle of the future on the roster either.

Christensen allowed just three sacks and 29 pressures over 1,403 pass-blocking snaps as BYU’s left tackle over his career, including one sack and just three pressures in 2020. Christensen has the potential to start immediately at right tackle, but at a minimum, he provides needed depth and a starting tackle beyond 2021.
