Above the link is NFL.com's Chad Reuter mock draft of every single pick, though I'll only post the Packers picks and trades.

1) Packers trade up, their 1st and 3rd for the Buccaneers 1st and 5th.

1.19) WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State

2.54) DE JT Tuimoloau, Ohio State

3) None, traded for a 5th during the move up in the first round.

4.124) CB Bilhal Kone, Western Michigan

5.157) OT Jack Nelson, Wisconsin (From Bucs)

5.159) DB Caleb Ransaw, Tulane

6.198) NT Zeek Biggers, Georgia Tech

7.237) C Jacob Bayer, Arkansas State

7.250) P James Burnip, Alabama

Thoughts
~ The first round pick makes no sense to me, the Packers NEED DL help and there is at least 3 quality options still on the board and you give up a 3rd just to jump 4 spots to grab a slot WR, when the Packers already have a pretty good slot WR in WR Reed?

- Even if we go WR in the first round, I think Missouri's WR Luther Burden III, who was taken at #32 would be a better fit for an outside WR, as Burden has speed and more importantly, is simply great at becoming a RB once he has the ball and breaking tackles, making short throws potentially into long plays.

- Physically DE JT Tuimoloau has the physical tools that you look for, BUT there is just something mental holding him back despite his great physical gifts he wasn't even the best DE on his team. I just don't trust him to develop into more until maybe school or partying was holding him back.

- I listed Caleb Ransaw as a DB, as he's sort of nickel/dime tweener between a CB and LB, that some might call a Safety, I think he's mainly played forward.

- I like the 5th round picks versatility

- Why a Punter? Also, Gute has already done the super tall/long punter from Alabama. Also he's an Aussie, wonder how he likes the cold?

6.198) OG Jalen Rivers, Miami

7) DT JJ Pegues, Mississippi (Trade up for)

----------


No 1st round trade

1.23) DT Walter Nolen, Mississippi
DT Harmon was off the board, so that wasn't even a debate. While he needs training to do a lot of techquie better, if you're looking at raw physical gifts, not many of the DTs are better than Nolen and if my understanding of Hafley 's scheme is correct, getting penetration from the DTs is very important and they were failing in that aspect last year.


2.54) WR Jayden Higgins, Iowa State
As much as I want to double up on DL, Gute almost always goes with offensive in round 2. Higgins isn't the most athletic WR, but great hands, size/length, and body control gives him smooth routes and you can always throw him open. Also, with a 4.47 he's not nessarily slow, just more of a possession type of WR, who has worked all over, so he can also work the slot. Plus blocking skills too.


3.87) CB Darien Porter, Iowa State
This is probably a very risky pick, as he has elite physical traits, but somehow was only a one year starter (out of six years). That being said, he's a standout on STs, 6'3" CB that has 4.3 speed in the 40, and great length and ball skills. He does NOT currently have the instincts for man coverage, but great instincts in zone coverage. Also, his run defense was horrible. So like a lot of Gute's 3rd round picks, this is a boom or bust.


4.124) DT Omarr Norman-Lott, Tennessee
Undersized but extremely athletic DT, which will probably end up being a better pro than college player, as the coaches failed to get him in the field more... yes, he's only 6'2", 290lb, and power is not his game, but he's got long arms, and is probably athletic enough to play 4-3 DE, and jumps at the snap, you want someone that can get penetration, then he's your guy... but don't ask him to run clog, as that's probably why he didn't get on the field more, he needs a scheme that asks him to penetrate.


5.159) CB Zy Alexander, LSU
Not the most athletic, but he plays extremely smart and physical, and in theory, he's a great fit for a cover 3 role as he's a great ball tracker. Which I believe Hafley liked using inverted cover 2 and cover 3 a lot. Simply put, I think he's a good fit to the scheme.


6.198) OG Jalen Rivers, Miami
Great OT size and length (almost 35 inches arms), but he doesn't have the athletic feet to stay at OT in the pros. He has experience at LT and LG, power, size and length are his strength, with a lot of upside. One major downside is that he's missed at least 4 games in 3 of the last 4 years, but if he stayed healthy, he might not be dropping this far.


Trade up: Trading picks 7.237 and 7.250 up for a higher pick (only has to be one pick higher for the player I'm going after).

7) DT JJ Pegues, Mississippi (Trade up for)
Versatility is the name of Pegues game, a former highly recruited TE, Pegues has switched over to DL playing every role from DE to NT. Probably his best role is penetrating DT. Pegues also plays goalline FB and has a high success rate on direct snap play runs. And with how athletic these DTs are (and how long Norman-Lott arms are), I think they could temporarily fill in at DE if nessarily.
