Green Bay Packers Draft Trend: A Prospect’s RAS

Lastly, we will eliminate any players who scored below 8.0 on the RAS scale. Also, since the purpose of this exercise was the create a shortlist, I will also cross off any player’s within the top-10 of The Draft Network’s big board since they all could very well be gone by the time the Green Bay Packers are picking at 22. Travon Walker will also be taken off the list since he is ranked 11th and is a consensus top-10 player by many.

I also want to add that I will not be including any players who did not test at the combine or their pro-days. This list includes Jameson Williams, Drake London, John Metchie, and Perrion Winfrey, all of whom could still certainly be on the Packers’ board, but they will not be included below for that reason.

Here is who we are left with as potential Round 1 targets for the Green Bay Packers:

Daxton Hill, S, Michigan

Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State

David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan

Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington

George Karlaftis, Edge, Purdue

Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida

Logan Hall, IDL, Houston

George Pickens, WR, Georgia

Of course, this is far from a full-proof system, and exceptions can be made. But with the Green Bay Packers able to go a number of different directions in the first round, this at least helps us zero in on which prospects fit their typical Round 1 mold.
