The Super Bowl is done and everyone is looking to 2019, including the Packers. How will they attack the first three rounds of the draft?

I’m certainly not the first, but let me join the party in officially welcoming you to NFL Draft season!

It’s one of the most exciting times of the year for football fans who need something to get them through to September. With mock drafts, player rankings, scouting reports, and big boards, make sure to get back to NFL Mocks all throughout the next few months.

The Super Bowl finished up Sunday night with the Patriots capturing their sixth Lombardi trophy, and it’s now time for everyone to turn the page to 2019.

For the Green Bay Packers, 2019 is about reclaiming the NFC North and making a deep playoff run while quarterback Aaron Rodgers is still around. To do that, Green Bay needs to build on last year’s draft and fill the roster with impact players.

Yes, edge rusher is a major need for this team, but the best approach is taking the best player available. If Ed Oliver were to fall to 12, the Packers should seriously consider it. The draft is about mixing needs with value and enriching your roster with as much talent as possible.

General manager Brian Gutekunst must do exactly that.

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at a three round mock for the Packers.
