Green Bay Packers

49. . EDGE. Green Bay. Kyler Fackrell . 12. player

The Green Bay Packers thought they were getting a bigtime talent for their edge rush position when they snared Kyler Fackrell in the 3rd round last year. Since then though he hasn’t shown much of anything to warrant that optimism. He was invisible a lot as a rookie and is even more so to start this season. He just hasn’t meshed with the defense the Packers are trying to run. With a stable edge rush coming from elsewhere, they may want to think about unloading him for a late round pick while his value is still somewhat buoyed by his draft status. Otherwise it looks like he may end up going down as a big whiff for that team.
