25: Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa. He's become such a popular pick among packers draft community, I'd almost be surprised if he actually is the pick. But he fits much of what the Packers are looking for. Plus athleticism, good height/weight profile, and positional flexibility. No RAS available but film suggests he a superior athlete.
41: Christian Haynes, OG, UConn. 9.11 RAS score. Mauler in the run game with 800+ snaps at RG each of the last three years. If he's the pick, you can just bet on him being the starter when the season opens.
58: AD Mitchell, WR, Texas. 6'2 205 with a 9.98 RAS score. I'd bet he goes late 1st, but he was here. Physical downfield WR who wins with athleticism and at the point of attack. Honestly, if the Packers somehow draft AD Mitchell, I start to wonder what kind of trade compensation the Packers could get for Christian Watson.
88. Beau Brade, S, Maryland. 1,300+ snaps the last two seasons, pretty evenly distributed in the box and deep. If Xavier McKinney is on the team for his experience and intelligence, Brade is on the team for his versatility and ball skills. A great complimentary player. RAS not available.
91: Trevin Wallace, LB, Kentucky. 6'1 237lbs, 9.63 RAS. Another explosive and rangy athlete at the LB position. He may not be a great compliment to Quay who also wins with athleticism rather than instincts. Not sure he or Quay could play as the MIKE, but two plus athletes would be helpful.
126: Michael Pratt, QB, Tulane. Brian Gutekunst has said he wants to get back into drafting QBs and I think this would be range he wants to pick. Four year starter, three year captain, good pocket awareness and a 8.23 RAS score. Average arm talent and struggles with accuracy, but he raises the floor of the Packers backup role, while have the plus tools who could develop trade value down the line.
169: Elijah Jones, CB, Boston College. 6'1 185lbs, RAS of 9.74. Good size, superior athlete, and knows the system. Coaches are teachers and their jobs get so much easier when they have students who don't need to learn the basics. There's a reason coaches go from one team to the next and bring their guys. It makes their job easier.
202: George Holani, RB, Boise State. Packers need some complimentary skillsets to what they have. Holani is 5'10, 208, RAS of 8.44. He's a decisive, 1-cut runner with a compact frame. Quick burst, though he doesn't have the run-away speed to break off 80 yard TDs.
219: Cam Little, K, Arkansas. Do I need to explain why the Packers are drafting a kicker? No
245: Dominique Hampton, S, Washington. 6'2 215, RAS 9.73. Size/speed/athlete the Packers like to draft for Special Teams. If he's your prefered starter at Safety, you have a problem. But as a ST ace he has good value.
255: Prince Pines, OG, Tulane. Young man has girth. 6'4 322 with an RAS of 8.1. I picked him simply because he was the best rated OL left on the board.
