Chicago might be stuck at pick #20 but if the team is unsuccessful at trading up for one of the top five QBs then it would be foolish to take the 6th best QB. Instead the Bears should focus on building up their o-line. I love OT Teven Jenkins from Oklahoma State, would be an instant starter at RT. But in this mock draft he is unfortunately already selected. Which is not terrible for the Bears as they still address the OT position with Virginia Tech’s Christian Darrisaw who will be an instant impact starter on the line with the upside to eventually replace LT Charles Leno Jr. who is coming up on a contract year.
Green Bay has been a very tricky team to figure out during the draft process. They could go many different way just like the Packers usually do especially after last year’s draft class. After losing All-Pro Center Corey Linsley in free agency the Packers have a huge need on the interior offensive line. The Packers could also use another quality WR like a Rondale Moore who would be a perfect fit in my personal opinion.
More importantly the team has to address its issues on the defensive side of the ball. Outside of Jaire Alexander the team could use another quality CB eventually replacing Kevin King. The Packers brought in new DC Joe Berry to turn this defense around and I believe it starts in the secondary with finding a new nickel corner which plays a big part in Berry’s defensive scheme. Asante Samuel Jr. could slot in and be a starter day one on the inside and maybe eventually could develop into the true #2 CB behind Pro-Bowl CB Jaire Alexander.
