Post-Week 16 Packers Mock Draft

1. Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina (previous: Christian Barmore)

Kevin King is also a free agent, and with all the money being thrown at extensions for cornerbacks this offseason, it makes it less and less likely King is brought back, especially since they will need to re-sign Jaire Alexander to a monster deal in a few years. The son of former New Orleans Saints star Joe Horn has been a fast riser this year with a great season in 2020. He played seven games and picked off two passes and finished with six passes defensed. He excels at man coverage, so he and Jaire could be a pair of shutdown corners. In his career, he made seven tackles for loss and three sacks. Josh Jackson as a backup boundary corner and Chandon Sullivan as the slot corner are both solid players, but you can never have too many at the position. This is also a great and deep CB class, so I wouldn’t mind a later pick at the position, too.

2. Jaylen Twyman, DL, Pittsburgh (previous: Amon-Ra St. Brown)

The Packers have one glaring weakness on this team, which is the defensive line. Their run defense has improved a little bit as the season has gone along, but still not good. Green Bay re-signed Kenny Clark just before the season, but while Kingsley Keke has made a jump, Tyler Lancaster and Dean Lowry are not starting caliber players. They are good enough to have on the roster, but I don’t want them receiving a majority of the snaps. Keke needs to be more consistent and they need another starter. Damon Harrison was a nice signing, but I doubt he is back in 2021. Regardless, you can never have enough strong defensive linemen, as the Eagles showed during their Super Bowl season of 2017. Twyman hails from the same university that gave us Aaron Donald. As a sophomore, he tallied 41 tackles, a team-high 12 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. Those numbers actually resemble the ones Donald put up during his sophomore season with the Panthers.

3. Sage Surratt, WR, Wake Forest (previous: Michael Carter)

The Packers have wanted to upgrade the position, but they have their price. Last season, they tried to trade for Robbie Anderson. During the 2020 draft, they tried to trade up in the second for a receiver, but did not have a fourth round pick due to the Jordan Love trade. Once their target was drafted, they stopped trying. I still am guessing their target was Chase Claypool. Finally, they tried to sign Emmanuel Sanders as a free agent this past offseason. He would rather play in a big city in warmer weather, so he signed with the Saints. So the Packers have tried to upgrade the wide receiver position. If the Packers take a receiver, it would probably be early because I just don’t see late round guys coming in and beating out MVS or EQ for significant playing time. Surratt opted out of this year, but had more than 1,000 yards in 2019 and 11 touchdowns. Has great size and ball skills and is a good route runner, which is what the Packers want.

4. Josh Ball, OT, Marshall (previous: Josh Jobe)

Green Bay loves taking linemen on day three, and a lot of times, they turn out to be solid players. The Packers took three interior linemen last season and Jon Runyan, Jr. has turned out to be a find. Green Bay has David Bakhtiari, who was re-signed, along with Rick Wagner, Billy Turner and even Elgton Jenkins can play tackle when asked. However, seeing the struggles of offensive lines around the league, you can never have too many quality offensive lineman. Ball is a mountain of a man, standing 6-8 and 309 pounds. With Bryan Bulaga gone, I think Green Bay will pick a day three offensive tackle to groom to take over in 2022.

5. Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina (previous: Drew Seers)

Both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are free agents. If neither is brought back, that leaves just 2020 second round pick A.J. Dillon in the backfield. While Dillon made his mark in last week’s win over Tennessee, a Carter/Dillon duo would be great if Jones and Williams aren’t brought back. Carter had a game in which he ran for 308 yards and two touchdowns against No. 10 Miami. On the year, he has 1,245 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging eight yards per tote. He is small, but electric. Carter is also a real good receiver, catching at least 20 passes in each of his past three seasons. The Tar Heel has 267 yards receiving on 25 catches this season.

6. Charles Snowden, EDGE, Virginia (previous: Cordell Volson)

Preston Smith has not been great this year, especially considering the money he gets paid. Rashan Gary out-produces Preston when he is on the field. The Packers could use another pass rusher if Preston is cut loose. Regardless, if he comes back, you can always use more pass rushers. He is a solid run defender as well as can be a good coverage player. He has improved as a pass rusher and has room to improve even more.

7. Paddy Fisher, LB, Northwestern (previous: Big Kat Bryant)

I think they have something in last year’s fifth round pick Kamal Martin. However, Christian Kirksey has lost explosiveness due to his injuries, so they could use a guy to play with Martin and make the defense play up to its capabilities. Khrys Barnes is just a dude and Oren Burks is basically just a special teams player at this point. Paddy Fisher has a higher floor, but a lower ceiling, which is why he lasts until the seventh.

Post-week 14 Packers Mock

The Packers are neck-and-neck with the New Orleans Saints for the top seed in the NFC. Green Bay has a few big needs, not to mention a few big free agents. Kenny Clark and David Bakhtiari are back in the fold, but Aaron Jones, Corey Linsley, Kevin King and Jamaal Williams are set to hit free agency. Here is my Packers mock draft as we head into week 15.

1. Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama (previous: Marvin Wilson)

The Packers have one glaring weakness on this team, which is the defensive line. Their run defense has improved a little bit as the season has gone along, but still not good. Green Bay re-signed Kenny Clark just before the season, but while Kingsley Keke has made a jump, Tyler Lancaster and Dean Lowry are not starting caliber players. They are good enough to have on the roster, but I don’t want them receiving a majority of the snaps. Keke needs to be more consistent and they need another starter. His big body would help the Packers against the run, and Barmore has proven to be a good pass rusher as well, bringing down opposing quarterbacks six times in 2020, despite being an interior defensive lineman.

2. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, USC (previous: Chris Olave)

The Packers have wanted to upgrade the position, but they have their price. Last season, they tried to trade for Robbie Anderson. During the 2020 draft, they tried to trade up in the second for a receiver, but did not have a fourth round pick due to the Jordan Love trade. Once their target was drafted, they stopped trying. I still am guessing their target was Chase Claypool. Finally, they tried to sign Emmanuel Sanders as a free agent this past offseason. He would rather play in a big city in warmer weather, so he signed with the Saints. So the Packers have tried to upgrade the wide receiver position. If the Packers take a receiver, it would probably be early because I just don’t see late round guys coming in and beating out MVS or EQ for significant playing time. St. Brown seems like a Packers-type player. Not only is a great receiver (36-404-3 in five games), but the Packers love their wide receivers to be terrific blockers, which St. Brown is. Just what the league needs, more weapons for Aaron Rodgers.

3. Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina (previous: Asante Samuel, Jr.)

I mentioned above that both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are free agents. If neither is brought back, that leaves just 2020 second round pick A.J. Dillon in the backfield. Carter is coming off a game in which he ran for 308 yards and two touchdowns against No. 10 Miami. On the year, he has 1,245 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging eight yards per tote. He is small, but electric. Carter is also a real good receiver, catching at least 20 passes in each of his past three seasons. The Tar Heel has 267 yards receiving on 25 catches this season. He and Dillon could be a thunder and lightning type duo if they let both Jones and Williams walk.

4. Josh Jobe, CB, Alabama (previous: Cole Van Lanen)

Kevin King is also a free agent, and with all the money being thrown at extensions for cornerbacks this offseason, it makes it less and less likely King is brought back, especially since they will need to re-sign Jaire Alexander to a monster deal in a few years. They could take one earlier than the fourth, but I have them waiting because I think they like the development of Josh Jackson and Ka’dar Hollman, not to mention they have Chandon Sullivan in the slot, who is a very solid corner. You can never have too many good corners, though. This should be a deep draft at cornerback and Jobe could be a nice find.

5. Drew Seers, ILB, Lindenwood (previous: Janarius Robinson)

I think they have something in last year’s fifth round pick Kamal Martin. However, Christian Kirksey has lost explosiveness due to his injuries, so they could use a guy to play with Martin and make the defense play up to its capabilities. Khrys Barnes is just a dude and Oren Burks is basically just a special teams player at this point. He is a tackling machine, averaging 14 tackles per game as a junior, and recorded 12.5 tackles for loss. Seers would be a big help in the run game.

6. Cordell Volson, OT, North Dakota State (previous: James Empey)

Green Bay loves taking linemen on day three, and a lot of times, they turn out to be solid players. The Packers took three interior linemen last season and Jon Runyan, Jr. has turned out to be a find. Green Bay has David Bakhtiari, who was re-signed, along with Rick Wagner, Billy Turner and even Elgton Jenkins can play tackle when asked. However, seeing the struggles of offensive lines around the league, you can never have too many quality offensive lineman. Despite being overshadowed by fellow offensive tackle, Dillon Radunz, Volson was a first team All-Missouri Valley Conference player. He started all 16 games at right tackle. In 724 snaps, Volson only allowed a half a sack. Impressive.

7. Big Kat Bryant, EDGE, Auburn (previous: Deslin Alexandre)

Preston Smith has not been great this year, especially considering the money he gets paid. Rashan Gary out-produces Preston when he is on the field. The Packers could use another pass rusher if Preston is cut loose. Regardless, if he comes back, you can always use more pass rushers. Big Kat has three sacks on the year and 10 in his career. He also has two picks, including a pick six in 2018.

Post-week 10 Packers mock draft

We are more than halfway through the season and the Green Bay Packers are 7-2, but still the team has a few holes it needs to fill. Here is my second Packers mock of the season...

1) Marvin Wilson, DT, Florida State (previous: Jaylen Twyman)

The Packers desperately need a defensive lineman. Green Bay is 22nd in the league in yards per carry allowed and allowed Dalvin Cook to run all over them in a loss a few weeks ago. They need another big lineman in the worst way, especially to help free up Kenny Clark, who is constantly being double teamed. Kingsley Keke has not developed as much as they would have liked. Dean Lowry and Tyler Lancaster are not starter worthy. Wilson was one of the top recruits coming out of high school and has been a star for the Seminoles. In his career, he has 15 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks. He would be a great fit next to Clark.

2) Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State (previous: Terrace Marshall)

Olave is a beast for Ohio State, and the Packers desperately need another target for Aaron Rodgers. With Allen Lazard out, the Packers passing attack has hit a bit of a wall. The Packers have wanted to upgrade the position, but they have their price. Last season, they tried to trade for Robbie Anderson. During the 2020 draft, they tried to trade up in the second for a receiver, but did not have a fourth round pick due to the Jordan Love trade. Finally, they tried to sign Emmanuel Sanders as a free agent this past offseason. He would rather play in a big city in warmer weather, so he signed with the Saints. He is a big play guy for the Buckeyes, having averaged more than 16 yards per reception in all three seasons. Olave has caught 19 touchdowns in his career, including 12 in 2019.

3) Asante Samuel, Jr., CB, Florida State (previous: Cole Van Lanen)

I am old. I vividly remember his dad playing with the Patriots, Eagles and Falcons. Kevin King is a free agent and he spends a lot of time on the injury report. With all the money being thrown at extensions for cornerbacks this offseason, it makes it less and less likely King is brought back, especially since they will need to re-sign Jaire Alexander to a monster deal in a few years. They could take one earlier than the fourth, but I have them waiting because I think they like the development of Josh Jackson and Ka’dar Hollman, not to mention they have Chandon Sullivan in the slot, who is a very solid corner. You can never have too many good corners, though. Samuel already has three interceptions this season and six passes defensed. He could fit right in with Jaire, Jackson, Ka'dar and Chandon.

4) Cole Van Lanen, OT, Wisconsin (previous: Tariq Castro-Fields)

Even with David Bakhtiari just signing an extension, the green & gold has a stop-gap at right tackle right now with Rick Wagner and Billy Turner. Van Lanen could be the future at right tackle for Green Bay. Wisconsin has put in some good offensive linemen the past 10 years with Travis Frederick, Ryan Ramczyk, Kevin Zeitler, among others. The Badgers lineman led college football with a 90.4 grade from Pro Football Focus last season. He is a member of the Outland Trophy watch list and could be a finalist when all is said and done. Van Lanen is off to a great start this season, so he could go higher than this.

5) Janarius Robinson, EDGE, Florida State (previous: Isaiahh Loudermilk)

Preston Smith has not been great this year, especially considering the money he gets paid. Rashan Gary out-produces Preston when he is on the field. The Packers could use another pass rusher if Preston is cut loose. Regardless, if he comes back, you can always use more pass rushers. He has three sacks on the year after having three sacks last season.

6) James Empey, C, BYU (previous: Kobie Whiteside)

Corey Linsley is a free agent and Empey would be a solid pick who could fight with last year's pick Jake Hansen for the starting center spot if Linsley. The Packers have always had luck finding offensive line gems in the later rounds.

7) Deslin Alexandre, DL, Pittsburgh (previous: David Anenih)

One way to try to fix your most glaring need is to draft multiple bodies at the position. I think Dean Lowry is a candidate to be let go, so the Packers could go with a few defensive linemen to help both the the starting line and reserves.

Early Packers Mock Draft

The Packers are off to a fast start during the 2020 NFL season, winning the first four with three by double digits. The offense has racked up 152 points in the four games (38 points per game). However, it is never too early to look at the 2021 NFL Draft. Green Bay will likely receive three compensatory selections, as they lost Blake Martinez, Bryan Bulaga and Kyler Fackrell. Green Bay has re-signed Kenny Clark, but still has a number of other potential free agents to try to sign, namely All-Pro offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, running back Aaron Jones and cornerback Kevin King. Here is my first Packers mock draft:

1. Jaylen Twyman, DT, Pittsburgh

In my eyes, the Packers have one glaring weakness: the defensive line. Green Bay smartly re-signed Kenny Clark this offseason, but while Kingsley Keke has made a jump, Tyler Lancaster and Dean Lowry are not starting caliber players. They are good enough to have on the roster, but I don’t want them receiving a majority of the snaps. Twyman hails from the same university that gave us Aaron Donald. As a sophomore, he tallied 41 tackles, a team-high 12 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. Those numbers actually resemble the ones Donald put up during his sophomore season with the Panthers. He would fit right in with the Packers, along side Clark and Keke and possibly turn a weakness into a strength.

2. Terrace Marshall, WR, LSU

The Packers have wanted to upgrade the position, but they have their price. Last season, they tried to trade for Robbie Anderson. During the 2020 draft, they tried to trade up in the second for a receiver, but did not have a fourth round pick due to the Jordan Love trade. Once their target was drafted, they stopped trying. I still am guessing their target was Chase Claypool. Finally, they tried to sign Emmanuel Sanders as a free agent this past offseason. He would rather play in a big city in warmer weather, so he signed with the Saints. So the Packers have tried to upgrade the wide receiver position. If the Packers take a receiver, it would probably be early because I just don’t see late round guys coming in and beating out MVS or EQ for significant playing time. Marshall could be that guy, though. Marshall is a touchdown machine for the Tigers. Since the start of the 2019 season, he has caught 67 passes, with a whopping 20 going for touchdowns. Even without top overall pick Joe Burrow and other great LSU receivers Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase taking pressure off him, he still has caught 21 passes for 424 yards and seven scores. He would come right in and form a tremendous trio at receiver with Davante Adams and Allen Lazard. Just what the rest of the NFL needs: an even more deadly Aaron Rodgers.

3. Cole Van Lanen, OT, Wisconsin

I mentioned above that All-Pro offensive tackle David Bakhtiari is a free agent. While I do think the Packers will re-sign 69 to a long-term deal, the green & gold has a stop-gap at right tackle right now with Rick Wagner and Billy Turner. Van Lanen could be the future at right tackle for Green Bay. Wisconsin has put in some good offensive linemen the past 10 years with Travis Frederick, Ryan Ramczyk, Kevin Zeitler, among others. The Badgers lineman led college football with a 90.4 grade from Pro Football Focus last season. He is a member of the Outland Trophy watch list and could be a finalist when all is said and done. The Badgers begin next Friday, so it will be interesting to see in CVL can improve his stock with a successful senior campaign.

4. Tariq Castro-Fields, CB, Penn State

I mentioned earlier that Kevin King is a free agent, and with all the money being thrown at extensions for cornerbacks this offseason, it makes it less and less likely King is brought back, especially since they will need to re-sign Jaire Alexander to a monster deal in a few years. They could take one earlier than the fourth, but I have them waiting because I think they like the development of Josh Jackson and Ka’dar Hollman, not to mention they have Chandon Sullivan in the slot, who is a very solid corner. You can never have too many good corners, though. This should be a deep draft at cornerback and Castro-Fields needs to be more consistent. If he can find more consistency, he could be a steal in the draft.

5. Isaiahh Loudermilk, DE, Wisconsin

The Packers very easily could take multiple defensive linemen in this draft class. Loudermilk is extremely talented, but one of his major problems has been staying healthy. As a sophomore, he missed the first few games and was not 100 percent the rest of the season. When healthy as a junior in 2019, he recorded three sacks, five passes defensed and two forced fumbles en route to being named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten. He hasn’t developed into a great pass rusher, but he has to become a good one. He has a knack for batting down passes due to his 6-7 frame.

6. Kobie Whiteside, DT, Missouri

One way to try to fix your most glaring need is to draft multiple bodies at the position. I think Dean Lowry is a candidate to be let go, so the Packers could go with three defensive linemen to help both the the starting line and reserves. Whiteside tallied a nice 78.8 pass-rush grade in 2019, which was 18th out of 182 Power 5 interior defensive linemen. He is a terrific nose tackle, who could be a steal at this spot.

7. David Anenih, EDGE, Houston

Anenih has improved each year for the Cougars. He sacked opposing quarterbacks twice as a freshman, four times as a sophomore, five as a junior and already has two in two games as a senior. You can never have enough edge rushers and a seventh round pick is worth it as a lottery ticket to use on a pass rusher.
