Florida State Seminoles defensive back Asante Samuel Jr. (26) after Clemson does not complete the pass as the Florida State Seminoles take on the Clemson Tigers in college football at Doak S. Campbell Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018.Fsu Vs Clemson1011a /

15. Asante Samuel Jr, CB, Florida State (Previously NR)

Asante Samuel Jr makes his first appearance on this Big Board and comes in at no. 15. I’ve gone back and forth on him due to his size, but his skill is undeniable. He has elite athletic abilities for the position, has a high football I.Q. and is a ballhawk. Those are all skills the Packers would love to add to their defense and he could end up being the guy at the end of the first.

14. Terrace Marshall Jr, WR, LSU (Previously 19)

13. Ka’Darius Toney, WR, Florida (Previously 8)

12. Elijah Moore, WR, Ole Miss (Previously NR)

It’s difficult to evaluate whether the Packers will go with a wide receiver in this year’s draft. Especially early. On the one hand, they are bringing back their top four receivers from a year ago plus Devin Funchess. On the other, they have nobody at the position under contract in 2022 and a number of guys will be up for raises. They could add a cheaper player in the first and each of these guys has the potential to be a difference-maker in the right role.

11. Walker Little, OT, Stanford (Previously NR)

Walker Little is another offensive tackle in the grouping of players who could be available to Green Bay. He’s incredibly difficult to evaluate since he hasn’t played since the beginning of the 2019 season, but that’s where teams could try for a steal. He has lots of potential and might just need some time to get used to playing in games again.
