| With three picks in the top 45 selections of the 2019 NFL Draft Josh Jackson Color Rush Jersey , look for general manager Brian Gutekunst and his staff to do their homework on much of the top talent in this year’s draft, particularly on the defensive front seven and the offensive line.However, the Packers have made numerous excellent picks in the later rounds of the draft with Gutekunst and his mentor Ted Thompson in charge. Their diligent scouting of players at all levels of evaluation suggest that they have been paying close attention to this week’s college all-star games — the East-West Shrine Game and NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.Those two games will kick off on Saturday, with the Shrine Game beginning at 2:00 PM Eastern and the Collegiate Bowl starting three hours later. Of the two, the Shrine Game typically draws the better talent, however, coming in second to next week’s Senior Bowl as the top such game each year.Here’s a look at some players who should intrigue Gutekunst and Packers fans alike, and who could be good fits in Green Bay. Most players at this game are likely third-day draft picks or priority free agents, but a few in particular stand out as possible top-100 picks. In addition, click here for full rosters and weigh-in/measurement information.East TeamMichael Jackson, Sr., CB, Miami (FL)As a junior, Jackson was a turnover machine, recording four interceptions. He failed to pick off a pass as a senior, but still helped make the Miami defense an upper-tier unit that allowed just 136 passing yards per game. He has good size at 6-foot-1 and 207 pounds, and he should run well at the Scouting Combine. He could end up a day-two draft pick.Lukas Denis, S, Boston CollegeLike Jackson https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Montravius-Adams-Jersey , Denis had a remarkable junior year, outdoing even his teammate on the East squad. After moving from corner to safety in the 2017 offseason, Denis recorded a staggering seven interceptions that year, adding ten pass breakups and a pair of forced fumbles. He had just one pick in 2018, but he took that back 59 yards for a touchdown. He’s not bulky at 5-foot-11 and 184 pounds, but he could be a candidate to play a hybrid free safety/slot corner role in the NFL.Jordan Brailford, EDGE, Oklahoma StateThe 6-foot-3, 241-pound Brailford enjoyed a breakout season in 2018, recording 17 tackles for loss and ten sacks. A redshirt junior who declared a year early, Brailford currently projects as a mid-round pick and has decent size as a 3-4 edge rusher.Jesper Horsted, WR, PrincetonThe Packers seemed to prioritize big-body receivers in the 2018 NFL Draft, and Horsted is the one receiver on the East team that seems to fit that bill, measuring in at 6-foot-3 and 224 pounds. He ate up Ivy League competition in two years as a starter, catching a combined 164 passes for 2,273 yards and 27 touchdowns. If he can hold up against better competition, that should go a long way towards making him a draftable prospect, or at least a priority free agent.Olisaemeka Udoh Jake Ryan Jersey , OL, ElonAnother small-school prospect, Udoh is listed at tackle but could transition to guard in the NFL. He has ideal size for the Packers’ preferences at guard (6-foot-6, 328 pounds), and like Horsted, showing an ability to block players from power-five conferences could make him a day-three pick.West TeamDerick Roberson, EDGE, Sam Houston State15 sacks. That’s what Roberson put up as a senior in 2018, adding five forced fumbles and totaling 20.5 TFLs on the season. He’s another player with ideal 3-4 linebacker size, measuring in at 6-foot-3 and 249 pounds this week.Adarius Pickett, S, UCLAStarting for two full seasons and part of a third, Pickett recorded seven interceptions in his career as a Bruin. He also led UCLA in tackles as a senior, with a whopping 123 on the season — though oddly, not a single one for a loss after four TFLs the year before. He has decent size at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, and should get drafted at some point in April.Daniel Wise, DT, KansasThe younger brother of Patriots EDGE Deatrich Wise, Daniel is a bigger body than his brother at 6-foot-2 Lance Kendricks Color Rush Jersey , 283 but had impressive pass rush numbers for a defensive tackle. He had at least three sacks in each of his four seasons, with five in each of the last two years. He also posted double-digit TFLs as a junior and senior, and added a pair of forced fumbles in 2017. With a little added bulk, he could be a candidate to rotate in as an interior rusher or as a 3-technique when the Packers line up in their base defense.Ron’Quavion Tarver, WR, Utah StateWouldn’t this name fit in nicely with Equanimeous St. Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling? His size (6-foot-3, 216) would too, and he had a productive three-year career for the Aggies, recording at least 48 catches and 560 yards every year. Jackson Barton, OT, UtahA two-year starter at left tackle, Barton earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors as a senior and is an imposing presence at 6-foot-7, 303. He could be a mid-round pick as a swing tackle. A former undrafted free agent and a potential falling defensive star rank just outside the top ten." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareSharePackers 90-man roster ranking, 15-12: Forgotten players of 2018 could be in for a reboundJeff Hanisch-USA TODAY SportsAcme Packing Company’s 90-man roster breakdown rolls on with the next group of players, those ranked from 15th to 12th by our staff of writers.In this grouping, we see the Packers’ marquee free agent acquisition of 2018 plus a player who saw action in only five games last year but whose absence took a toll on the entire offense.15. Geronimo Allison, wide receiver In order for the Packers to make their offense go, quarterback Aaron Rodgers needs to trust his wide receivers. With the departure of Jordy Nelson in free agency, that left Green Bay with the remaining trio of Davante Adams https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Davon-House-Jersey , Randall Cobb and third-year man Allison. During Allison’s first two seasons, Rodgers went out of his way to praise “G-Mo” for his work ethic and what he brought to the offense.In 2018, with Cobb struggling, Allison only played in five games thanks to a groin injury that required surgery and landed him on injured reserve in November. The offense sputtered the rest of the way as Rodgers struggled to develop chemistry with then-rookies Equamineous St. Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.If that doesn’t show the importance of the former undrafted free agent, we aren’t sure what does.14. Jimmy Graham, tight endWhen general manager Brian Gutekunst inked Graham as the first free agent sign of his tenure as GM, fans were excited that the Packers finally found the tight end that Rodgers could rely on as a reliable target and could stretch the field, even if Graham had become more of a red zone threat than a deep threat during his time in Seattle. Many though the Seahawks had just misused the All-Pro tight end.It turns out that former coach Mike McCarthy may have done the same. Graham put up decent-to-solid numbers (636 yards on 55 receptions) but he only scored two touchdowns. Was this a result of Rodgers being off or a result of McCarthy underutilizing tight ends in goal-to-go scenarios? The Packers are banking on the latter and Graham could see a bit of a renaissance in new coach Matt LaFleur’s offense.13. Mike Daniels, defensive lineman2018 ended in disappointing fashion for Daniels and despite some calls for him to be traded, he enters a contract year with a lot to prove and would anyone really bet against him at this point?Daniels is the heart and soul of the defense, but he also is the machine that made the Green Bay defensive line go. That mantle is now being challenged by emerging star Kenny Clark and perhaps even someone like Jaire Alexander could challenge Daniels for being the heart of the defense.Daniels can still be a very good player, but after missing six games last year due to a foot injury the clock is ticking to prove he can still be a disruptive force along the line. As we said earlier, anyone care to doubt him? 12. Aaron Jones, running backOne of the great mysteries of the 2018 Packers season will always be wondering what McCarthy was thinking in greatly underutilizing the talented Jones. Each Sunday Packers Twitter would sarcastically cheer that “hey Aaron Jones IS alive” whenever he would be in the backfield.When he did see action, Jones was borderline electric and really helped the offense at a time when the quarterback was out of sorts.With LaFleur now running the show, Jones could be in for a breakout season in 2019 given the new coach’s decision to marry the run with the pass. Jones might be slightly undersized for a feature back in the LaFleur/Shanahan/McVay offense (Jamaal Williams is closer to Devonta Freeman and Todd Gurley in Atlanta and Los Angele’ offenses, respectively) but he is a gifted athlete that someone like LaFleur will not he able to resist putting on the field often. |
