Round 2: Jaquan Johnson, Safety, Miami

Still looking at defense in this mock draft, the Packers address the back end of the secondary with safety Jaquon Johnson out of Miami. Green Bay has been re-making the secondary for a couple of seasons now, which is evident by the recent selections of Kevin King, Jaire Alexander, and Josh Jackson in the first couple of rounds the past two seasons.

They’ve also traded away Damarious Randall and, more recently, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. While they have the corners they like in place now, they do need to replace Clinton-Dix, which is where Johnson comes in.

At 5-11, 190 pounds, Johnson is slightly undersized, but that has never slowed him down. He’s solid in coverage and a willing tackler.

Round 3: Michael Deiter, OT, Wisconsin

After adding three-straight defensive players, the Packers finally address the offensive side of the ball with Michael Deiter, the offensive tackle from Wisconsin. The Badgers have become O-line University and they keep sending blockers to the pros.

They have a couple other linemen who will be players in the NFL, and Deiter often gets forgotten about. He isn’t flashy, but he’s a solid piece, which a team that has had health problems up front would be happy to add to their roster.
