Now that the 2022 NFL Draft is over, we have a clearer picture of what the Green Bay Packers’ remaining needs are. Could that lead to another dip into free agency?

Green Bay doesn’t really have the money to spend, but could create some room with an extension to Jaire Alexander and cutting of Dean Lowry. That would create more than enough room to sign most, if not all, of the guys on this list.

Let’s check out seven remaining free agents who would complete the Packers’ roster and entrench their spot as a Super Bowl contender.

The Green Bay Packers should target any of these seven remaining free agents in order to push their team over the top following the 2022 NFL Draft.

Free agents to push Packers over the top following the Draft: Eric Fisher, Offensive Tackle

The Packers released Billy Turner earlier in the season in order to save some money on their salary cap. Now they could turn to another veteran tackle to replace his production. Green Bay has prioritized offensive line play and it’s paid off in recent years. After investing heavily in the draft by selecting Sean Rhyan in the third round, Zach Tom in the fourth round and Rasheed Walker in the seventh round, they have a few players on their roster who could start at right tackle. However, Eric Fisher brings the most experience by far and could win the starting job if they bring him on board.
