Green Bay Packers full 2020 NFL mock draft

While the Grene Bay Packers don’t need a running back, Lamical Perine is the type of grind-out-the-tough-yards back who could appeal to the team on Day 3. They should look to draft a superior backup to Aaron Jones, especially someone with more pure rushing ability than Jamaal Williams.

A strong, physical player, Perine would bring something different to the Packers offense and could seriously challenge Jones for carries, given his no-nonsense rushing style. He’s averaged more than 5.0 yards per carry in each of his past two seasons at Florida and is one of the smartest backs in the class.

David Bakhtiari and Ricky Wagner look set as the Packers offensive tackle bookend in 2020, and Green Bay won’t be finding any starters at the position on Day 3. However, it is imperative they add depth at tackle, and Yasir Durant could be a quality sixth-round pick for the organization.

Durant’s stock has fallen after an absolutely abysmal Combine in nearly every major test for an offensive tackle, but that tumble could be exactly what the Packers need. They could snap up quality depth at either tackle or guard here, as Durant could also project at the latter position after playing there before joining Mizzou.

A tall, long cornerback at 6’3″, 215 pounds, Lamar Jackson is a tricky customer since the NFL team drafting him will have to figure out if he’s a better fit at cornerback or safety.

For now, Jackson projects as a corner, but as Green Bay has shown in the past with Damarious Randall, they aren’t afraid to convert players between the two positions. Jackson’s instincts and physicality could make him a better fit for the back end of the secondary, where he could be quality depth for Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage Jr.

Last season, Jackson had 40 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 12 passes defended, 3 interceptions, and 2 fumbles forced for the Cornhuskers.

A star player for one of the best teams in the country, Tremayne Anchrum was the Clemson Tigers’ right tackle last season but, like Missouri product Yasir Durant could move to guard at the next level.

Either way, he’d be good depth for the Packers on Day 3 and also projects as a plus pass protector. Because he’s 6-foot-2, 315 pounds, many see him as a more ideal guard, where his run blocking would benefit. If he can make a successful transition to guard, he could be a sleeper pick for the Pack.

Whereas there’s a legitimate question as to whether Lamar Jackson plays cornerback or safety in the NFL, Kamren Curl is undoubtedly better off sticking at safety. He’s more of a player who has a nose for the football and recorded 76 tackles as a junior for Arkansas last season.

Curl has serious limitations in coverage, but he could be a nice depth guy for the Packers who can stick around by proving sleeper value on special teams. If the Packers are able to get anything out of players this late in the draft, the will be happy. Curl is a better athlete than many expected heading into the combine and his strength and football IQ are underrated positives.

A cornerback with the same name as the NFL MVP and now a cornerback with the same name as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.

A.J. Green significantly improved his 40-yard dash time at Oklahoma State’s pro day to 4.53 from his 4.62 time at the Combine, and how NFL teams evaluate his speed will be a key to where Green gets drafted.

The defensive back’s length is a plus, and, like Curl, he could help his case by contributing on special teams. But there are questions about his athletic ability, including both speed and strength. Still, he was a productive player in college and is worth a seventh-round flier after starting for three years in the Big 12.
