Green Bay Packers: 7-Round 2020 mock draft after NFC Championship loss
Bryan Bulaga is slated to hit free agency this offseason. He’s been a stalwart when he’s been on the field for the Packers at right tackle. However, his spotty availability and now being over 30 years old brings into question whether or not Green Bay will look to bring him back. No matter their decision there, they need to start looking to the future and Isaiah Wilson fits that bill as a third-rounder.
Most human beings aren’t built like the 6-7, 340-pound Georgia product and it shows on the film. The power and strength that Wilson can play with, particularly as a road grader in the run game, are elite traits. He falls to the third round, however, because his nuances on the edge of the line aren’t quite where they need to be. Wilson needs development with his feet and hands from a technical perspective but has all the requisite tools to quickly become a franchise tackle.
After using their first-round pick on Hamler, you might think it wise for the Packers to wait and dip back into the wide receiver pool in the later rounds. They need more than one young pass-catcher to add to the mix but using premium capital on the position is a bit of a risky proposition. Of course, whenever Tyler Johnson fell to Green Bay in the fourth round, my thoughts on the matter changed because there’s no way to pass that up.
While Johnson isn’t a physical marvel in terms of his size or speed, there are few areas in his game where he’s not capable of winning. The Minnesota product’s route-running, hands and ability to make plays after the catch with nice quickness and footwork all pop off the tape. Moreover, he has proven his ability to grab the rock in traffic and be a threat all over the field. Adding him with Adams and Hamler completely revamps this wide receiver corps in a huge way.
