Arizona State. N'Keal Harry. 30. player. 49. . Wide Receiver

With the No. 30 overall pick, the Green Bay Packers will choose in place of the New Orleans Saints, who traded them the pick during the 2018 NFL Draft. After picking a player to bolster their defense earlier in round one, Green Bay looks towards the offensive side of the ball later, grabbing Arizona State wideout N’Keal Harry.

Covering the Pac-12 the last three season, I have seen first hand how good Harry is, and he would be a perfect fit for Aaron Rodgers and this Green Bay offense. Rodgers is still one of the elite quarterbacks in the league, but his time with Mike McCarthy was coming to an end, and new head coach Matt LaFleur should be a breath of fresh air for this organization.

Harry is a guy who can really dominate in the passing game, possessing the ability to not only go over the middle at make  tough catches, but out-jump any defender. Rodgers is going to love throwing to this guy in the red zone, and teamed with Davante Adams, the Packers would have an elite duo at the top of the depth chart at wide receiver in 2019.

Green Bay was a big disappointment last season, but they should return to form in 2019. You have to think that a new head coach should have Rodgers fired up next season, and adding an elite talent like Harry should make him smile on draft night. Having two first round picks is such a luxury, and hopefully for Packers fans, the team can cash in this April.
