The Green Bay Packers know they’ll be picking No. 25 in the upcoming NFL draft, which is April 25 in Detroit.
The team’s needs on the offensive line and in the secondary seem fairly evident, and mock drafts reflect that. Of the early mock drafts out there, nearly every one is choosing a player at those positions for Green Bay.
These are some names to follow as draft season starts:
Taliese Fuaga, offensive line, Oregon State
The Draft Network zooms in on one of the draft’s best pass protectors for the Packers.
“Jordan Love’s emergence has been one of the best things to happen this NFL season and the team must surround him with enough resources to succeed long-term,” writes Brentley Weissman.
Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News also goes with Fuaga, writing “Fuaga has natural power as a run blocker and learning to use size well in pass protection.
He could end up also being an inside anchor at guard.
”Josh Edwards of CBS Sports views this as an investment with David Bakhtiari’s status uncertain.
Morgan is a 6-foot-5 senior weighing 325 pounds and was a first-team all-conference pick in the Pac-12, the same conference (RIP) where the Packers foundThe Packers haven’t drafted a first-round offensive lineman in more than a dozen years (2011), but I really like this fit.
A college left tackle, Fautanu has the feet and length to stay outside, but a lot of scouts feel his skill set is ideally suited at guard.”
