It’s Time To Do My 7-Round Packers Mock Draft..
Yes, I am aware that this was a huge waste of time. It’s impossible to forecast which NFL team will select in the seven rounds without also speculating on whether Anders Carlson will attempt a field goal or not in the future.
Even though I and you both know that Brian Gutekunst, armed with five picks between 25 and 91, is likely to go up or down depending on how the draft board is dropping, it’s still a fascinating exercise every time.
There won’t be any trades made during this mock draft. If any of the top two cornerbacks—Quinyon Mitchell or Terrion Arnold—falls into the mid-teens, I could see a situation where he jumps up in the first round.
The Seattle Seahawks at 16 could be a dance partner because they lack a second-round pick. Packaging 25 and 58 could do the trick. The Denver Broncos at 12 could also be in play; another team without a No. 2 that might feel better about drafting Bo Nix at 25 rather than 12. A top-three tackle could also be a target if the Pack decides to move up.
The Packers could also trade back if an intriguing WR is on the board for a playoff team like the Buffalo Bills or Kansas City Chiefs, or if someone like the Denver Broncos wants to jump back in for Nix.
Adding another Day 2 pick would give Gutey even more flexibility on Friday night. Or maybe he adds draft capital next year, when the Packers host the draft. But if they stay at 25, here’s how I have the draft unfolding:
