After starting off the season very slow, the Green Bay Packers are back, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers is playing MVP-type football. With a plethora of options on the outside, Rodgers has overcome the fact that the Packers have no running game, throwing for over 30 touchdowns against only seven interceptions this season. While the Packers definitely need a running back, they can grab a guy like Jeremy McNichols from Boise State in round two, and should look to bolster their offensive line in round one.

Rodgers has taken his fair share of hits this season, and at 33-years old, he needs to be protected better. He has shown that he is still arguably the best quarterback in the league, so adding to the offensive line is going to be crucial next April. Indiana’s Dan Feeney is the best offensive guard in this draft, and that is a position the Packers need help.

The best part about Feeney is how athletic he is for someone his size, as he has tremendous feet at the position. He is also one of the strongest men in college football, and has the upper body strength to move defenders with ease. He is used to playing in the cold in Indiana, so heading to Wisconsin for his pro career is not going to be an issue.
