Green Bay Packers mock draft: Complete 7-round edition
The Green Bay Packers are looking to bolster their Super Bowl chances with a strong 2016 NFL Draft. Here is a complete seven-round mock draft for the Green and Gold.
In 2015, the Green Bay Packers reached the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year, tied with the New England Patriots for the longest-running streak in the NFL.
Most franchises can only dream of such consistency. For the Packers, it is a way of life.
But when the face of your franchise is arguably the most talented quarterback of his generation, postseason appearances are not enough. And with two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers turning 33 this season, Green Bay cannot afford rest on its laurels.
The bulk of free agency is complete. Aside from the signing of former Rams tight end Jared Cook to a one-year deal, the Packers were fairly quiet, which might not be a bad thing. For an organization that has been so successful in recent years, major changes are not always necessary.
Where a team like Green Bay can make a significant offseason splash without jeopardizing what has worked so well in the past is through the NFL Draft. The Packers own picks in all seven rounds of the upcoming NFL Draft, including three in the fourth.
It is all but assured that general manager Ted Thompson and the front office will select an inside linebacker at some point in the draft, and probably early on. But there are also several other needs that the team must address before next season.
With the draft just weeks away, here is a complete seven-round mock draft for the Green Bay Packers.
