When you’re attempting to predict what teams will do in the NFL Draft, there are a handful of variables to consider.
Brian Gutekunst has picked a defensive back in the first round three times since taking over as Packers GM in 2018.Team needs, draft class positional depth and franchise draft history should all be weighed when targeting a bet on the NFL Draft.
The Packers finished 27th overall in defensive DVOA, and opposing quarterbacks enjoyed a 94.7 rating against Joe Barry’s defense . He has one corner, Jaire Alexander, who can do that, but he’ll need another and this draft who can provide him with that piece to his defensive puzzle. The Packers have been linked to offensive tackles in mock drafts for months, but there’s a high likelihood that the top five tackles are off the board by the time they’re on the clock at Pick No. 25.
At the very least, one corner should be available if the Packers want to pull the trigger, be it Iowa’s Cooper DeJean, Clemson’s Nate Wiggins or Alabama’s Kool-Aid McKinstry.Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst has demonstrated in previous drafts his willingness to select defensive backs in the first round.
During a game against North Carolina last year, the Clemson corner hit a max speed of 22.6 mph, according to Reel Analytics.
