Ranking Packers realistic draft targets: Landon Dickerson, C, Alabama

Coming in at No. 4 is Alabama’s Landon Dickerson, mocked to Green Bay by Daniel Jeremiah. The Packers have an obvious need at center with Corey Linsley departing to the Chargers (where he joined Bryan Bulaga) and no clear answer on the roster.

Whats’ the scariest about Dickerson is that he’s coming off a torn ACL he suffered in the National Championship game and is questionable to begin his rookie season. He also has an injury history that may keep some teams away. If he can fully recover, his strength is a major plus in his game. He can move opposing defensive linemen and create big holes. He also has a nonstop motor and is relentless on every snap. Packers’ fans would love him, just not as a first-round pick.
