Day 2 Mocks: Who do draft experts see the Packers targeting?
Looking across the web to see who experts think the Packers could pick on Day 2 of the 2018 NFL draft.
Now that the dust has settled from a crazy first round of the 2018 NFL draft, it’s time to take a look ahead to Rounds 2 and 3 which kick off tonight at 7 pm CT. The Packers still have plenty of needs, but only one selection remaining tonight after their bevy of trades last night.
Of course, the Packers could still move up and down the board and end up with a few more picks on Day 2. Who might they target with those picks? We took a spin around the web to look and see who various draft experts see possibly landing with the Packers.
There's a big-bodied receiver who could be of interest to the Cowboys on Day 2.
His 4.47 speed could soften the loss of Jordy Nelson, and his ability to thrive from the slot could allow the Pack to move on from Randall Cobb a year from now. Kirk's six punt returns for TDs with the Aggies also foreshadow his game-breaking skills on special teams.
I didn’t predict trades and focused on team-player interest.
Green Bay doesn’t like to pass on offensive tackles it can develop, and Okorafor has left tackle upside. The Packers can take their time with him.
Intelligent captain of the defense with good speed and aggression. He could challenge for playing time quickly.
Ready for Day 2 of the #NFLDraft?
There is a chance that one of the guys listed above could fall to Green Bay in the second round, but even if they don’t the Packers should still be in very good shape with talented guys at positions of need. They might not be the caliber of a Will Hernandez or Harold Landry, but are still good players such as D.J. Chark or Ronnie Harrison.
The Packers fill a hole in their tight end depth chart with this pick, and possibly eliminate the need to keep Jimmy Graham on the roster for his full 3 year contract. Goedert displays amazing hands, seriously if you haven’t seen his highlight tape go check it out . He can pick up yards after the catch and he is a willing blocker. Dallas’s game reminds me a lot of Travis Kelce. This would be an ideal fit playing for his favorite team and having Jimmy Graham to learn behind.
