Green Bay Packers Mock Drafts No. 5 & 6

Damian Parson – The Draft Network

Pick 22: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State

Pick 28: Jordan Davis, IDL, Georgia

Takeaway: Dotson will be another popular name mocked to the Green Bay Packers, but as we discussed previously, is he big enough? Meanwhile, Jordan Davis stole the show at the NFL Combine, and I’m sure the first thing that many thought when looking at this mock draft was, “there is no way Davis is going to be on the board at pick 28.”

At 6’6″ – 341 pounds, Davis is an incredible athlete. During his time at Georgia, Davis was known for his ability against the run, ranking 18th in run defense grade this past season from PFF and also finishing 18th in run-stop percentage. Davis would record eight QB pressures last season as well.

He is someone who may not fill up the stat sheet, but you plug in the middle of the defense to take on double-teams and to occupy space–which should benefit the other defenders around him, especially Kenny Clark.

Luke Easterling – Draft Wire

Pick 22: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State

Pick 28: Tyler Smith, IOL, Tulsa

Takeaway: More Chris Olave! However, Tyler Smith going to Green Bay at pick 28 is not a selection I’ve seen before. Smith was one of PFF’s highest-graded tackles in 2021, allowing just two sacks and nine total pressures.

While almost every college snap came at left tackle, many believe Smith will make the move to guard at the NFL level–and if that’s how the Packers view him, I just don’t see them taking Smith in Round 1. That thought doesn’t have much to do with Smith’s game, but rather the Packers typically don’t take interior offensive linemen at this point in the draft–they’ve actually had quite a bit of success drafting Day 3 tackles and moving them to guard.

The offensive line is one of those positions teams will always want to add to, and I certainly expect the Packers to do that in this draft. In fact, if they take an offensive tackle at this point I won’t be surprised at all. But I don’t see them spending a first-round pick on a guard.
