2019 NFL Draft: Green Bay Packers 7-round mock
Round 4 – Nate Davis, OT, Charlotte
Charlotte isn’t exactly a school that’s renowned at churning out NFL talent on an annual basis. However, it would be a mistake to ignore Nate Davis. He’s got a chance to develop into a starter at guard for a long time. The Packers would do well to snag him this late in the draft.
Davis spent most of his time with the 49ers at tackle, which might hurt his draft stock slightly. He shows a lot of power out on the edge, but his feet aren’t quick enough to handle talented edge rushers in space. When you slide him inside, however, that’s much less of an issue. At guard he’ll be able to use his strength and size to really move defensive tackles in the run game.
Lane Taylor and Byron Bell can probably hold Davis off for a while, but if he ends up in Green Bay, don’t be surprised if he takes over a starting position by midseason.
Round 4 – Trayveon Williams, RB, Texas A&M
Williams might be the best pass-blocking running back in this year’s draft. Combine that with his ability to run away from defenders in the second level and it’s easy to see why he might appeal to the Packers.
Frankly, Green Bay needs to find a running back they can trust this offseason. Free agency certainly could be the method used by the front office, but don’t rule out a late round draft pick. Scooping him up in the fourth round would be a clever move by the Packers.
