2019 NFL mock draft: Kyler Murray lands with Redskins
By Brad Weiss
The Green Bay Packers missed out on the playoffs this season, as they put together one of the more disappointing seasons of any team in the NFL. Coming into the year with a healthy Aaron Rodgers under center, Green Bay was expected to win the NFC North division, but instead finished near the bottom of the group.
Mike McCarthy was fired from his head coach position during the season, becoming only the second Super Bowl winning coach to be not allowed to finish a season by the team he won the title with. Green Bay has turned to a first-time head coach to lead the way in 2019, signing former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur.
One of the big issues with McCarthy and the Packers was his relationship with Rodgers, so the writing was definitely on the wall. If the Packers want to take the next step forward, especially on the offensive side of the ball, they would be wise to bring in an elite wideout talent with the No. 12 overall pick.
During his time at Arizona State, N’Keal Harry became the elite wide receiver in the Pac-12, and is a guy who is going to be a playmaker at the next level. He has the size to go up and get it, can take the lid off the defense, and inside the red zone, would present Rodgers with a great target in tight spots.
