Green Bay Packers
Key Draft Needs: OG, RB, CB
Record: 8-6
Offensive Guard – Prior to the beginning of the 2016 season, the Green Bay Packers inexplicably cut Josh Sitton, one of the best guards in the NFL. As the season has progressed, it has become abundantly clear that letting Sitton go was a mistake. The Packers now have a weakness among the interior of the offensive line and must look to the draft to find a long term solution. One possible target is Dan Feeney out of Indiana. He has experience at both guard and center, and would shore up the interior for the foreseeable future.
Running Back – Staying on the offensive side of the ball, the Packers could use help at the running back position. Starting running back Eddie Lacy can’t stay on the field and James Starks is shell of his former self. Luckily for the Packers, the 2017 running back class is shaping up to be a historic one with enough talent that they should be able to find a starter.
Cornerback – Picking Damarious Randall in the first round two years ago was a head scratcher, and thus far the investment has not payed off. Randall has missed far too much time with injuries, and when on the field plays far too inconsistently. Sam Shields’ health is also a concern, and the Packers can not rely on him for too much longer.
