The Green Bay Packers have been making some questionable moves this offseason, but they made a big one in signing Jimmy Graham. The Packers needed a pass-catching tight end, and Graham can certainly be that when he is healthy. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is coming off a collarbone injury, but he will be ready to go for Week 1, making the Packers a playoff contender once again.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Packers have the talent in place to put up points against anybody. On defense, they have a serious lacking in their secondary, especially at the cornerback position. One player who they should target in the first round is Josh Jackson, who led the FBS in interceptions last season.

During their run towards the NFC title game two years ago, the Packers showed a big deficiency in the secondary. They did nothing to improve that since, so Jackson is a nice selection here at No. 14. He may actually find himself in the first ten picks, as it all depends where teams rank him and Ward, but the Packers would be wise to select whichever of the two is available towards the middle of the first round.
