Jalen Tolbert WR, South Alabama
Tyreke Smith EDGE, Ohio State
Jack Sanborn LB, Wisconsin

Fanspeak now has a trade options on their simulator. Here is what I came up with with a lot of trading back to get picks.

28: R1 P28 EDGE Drake Jackson - USC
92: R3 P28 WR Justyn Ross - Clemson
98: R3 P34 OT Max Mitchell - Louisiana
118: R4 P16 RB Hassan Haskins - Michigan
122: R4 P20 LB DeAngelo Malone - Western Kentucky
129: R4 P27 G Jamaree Salyer - Georgia
135: R4 P33 LB Jack Sanborn - Wisconsin
157: R5 P15 CB Brendan Radley-Hiles - Washington
170: R5 P28 DL Marquan McCall - Kentucky
179: R5 P37 C Nick Ford - Utah
226: R7 P7 S Bubba Bolden - Miami
247: R7 P28 WR Bo Melton - Rutgers

Thoughts on Kyle Phillips? Like his route running and potential out of the slot as a likely Day 3 pick.
Regardless of what happens with Rodgers/Adams, I think they will have to spend at least 2 picks on WR this draft -- they barely have any under contract (although Rico Gafford and Josh Malone are intriguing super-long shots).

Draft Countdown's Packer picks in 7 round mock draft.

28 Christian Harris LB/Alabama Harris' stock has been pretty volatile throughout the process this year, but after a tremendous National Championship game, he has risen back into the mid-first round. An explosive athlete who can cover Tight Ends as needed, Harris would add a new dimension to the Packers defense and be a perfect fit as an all around LB.

59 Trey McBride TE/Colorado State

92 Jalen Tolbert WR/South Alabama

128 Dominique Robinson EDGE/Miami (OH)

137 Myron Cunningham OT/Arkansas

169 Zach Tom OL/Wake Forest

225 Shaun Jolly CB/Appalachian State

246 Makai Polk WR/Mississippi State

256 Sincere McCormick RB/UTSA

This year I would not be sad if Gute made a couple trades back to accumulate picks. I'm assuming they will cut a lot of players and they need to restock with talent. I suppose if they trade their QB and WR1 they won't have to trade back for more picks, they'll have other issues.

Also: others have mentioned David Bell, he looks like a good player to me and to be a solid Day 2 pick who will be a starter in Year 2. Like him quite a bit.
From what little I've seen of the WRs, I think Metchie > J.Williams > G.Wilson (OSU).
I think Olave is solid.
Jahan Dotson is a better KJ Hamler and might actually pan out in the slot. Maybe.
Not sure what to make of Drake London yet.
It's hard to tell with most of these guys because they get manufactured touches/bubble screens, or the corners play so far off it's insane. Any halfway decent athlete with a free release is going to be frequently open.

Noticing the QBs throwing to them: Bryce Young isn't bad, and the guy throwing to David Bell has some skill, but the other QBs (for OSU, PSU, USC) didn't impress me at all.

Interactive mock draft:

1 (28) Devin Lloyd - LB - Utah
2 (59) Jalen Wydermyer - TE - Texas A&M
3 (92) Christian Watson - WR - North Dakota St.
4 (128) Isaiah Thomas - Edge - Oklahoma
4 (137) Rachaad White - RB - Arizona St.
5 (169) Matt Hankins - CB - Iowa
6 (224) Michael Clemons - Edge - Texas A&M
7 (245) Smoke Monday - S - Auburn
7 (255) Aaron Frost - IOL - Nevada

Watson would be an excellent fit for the Packers, but he's probably not going to last until the late 3rd round now. He's a big receiver who is a solid blocker, has run a lot of jet motion, and has great deep speed. He's kind of a combination of MVS + jet motion guy that MLF likes.

Some interesting names on these lists, but I still don't think we need to draft a WR early or a TE at all.

The great thing about TPB is he is an idiot. The Packers top 3 WRs from last year are all free agents next year and we aren't keeping Cobb at the price we are paying him.

That leaves Aaron Jones, AJ Dillion and Josh Deguara as you leading receivers from 2021. Uhm.... where is the WR in that group?

In fact, where is a good TE in that group?

TPB bleeds green and gold and cannot look at anything Packers without seeing Pro Bowlers at every position accept OL.

Unless you believe AROD just makes sub par WR's look so much better than they are (maybe he does) we need a couple WR's and maybe an athletic TE.

And if he's not back the Love Machine will need more

It's early, but both Draft Network and Pro Football Network have him rated as an early to mid 4th round pick. It's a deep group of WR's this year. Draft Network has 15 WR's in their Top 100.
