Green Bay Packers Mock Draft Roundup & Takeaways

Round 1: Devin Lloy, LB, Utah and Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

Round 2: Isaiah Likely, TE, Coastal Carolina and Ed Ingram, IOL, LSU

Takeaway: This does not feel like a very Green Bay Packers-type of draft. They just re-signed De’Vondre Campbell, do not spend first-round picks on LBs, and Lloyd is on the older side as well. This isn’t a knock on him either, he is the best LB in this class, but this pick for Green Bay doesn’t match their past draft trends.

Burks is a good fit for the LaFleur offense–basically, find ways to get him the ball in space, which we know LaFleur is good at, and let Burks do the rest. But Green Bay still needs that go-to option, whereas I see Burks as more of a complementary player in an ideal situation.

When it comes to Likely, I do really like the pass-catching ability that he brings, but blocking isn’t his strong suit, so I do wonder if he’s rated this high on the Packers’ board. I also don’t see them spending a second-round pick on an IOL. Green Bay has had plenty of success finding Day 3 OTs and moving them inside.

Round 1: Jordan Davis, IDL, Georgia and Christian Watson, WR, NDSU

Takeaway: I imagine there would be many Green Bay Packers fans upset if the team passed on Chris Olave at pick 22, which is what happened in this mock draft. Davis tested very well at the combine but was primarily used as a run-stuffer at Georgia. In my opinion, for the Packers to take him in Round 1, they need to believe he can affect the pass as well–which, with his athleticism, should be on the table.

As I wrote recently, Watson could bring a lot to this Packers team. He has terrific size and athleticism, and his quickest impact could come as a vertical threat–which is an element that this offense very much needs. However, he can also be a gadget player with that speed of his and a kick return candidate as well. Watkins’ ceiling is incredibly high.
