Green Bay Packers: 7-Round 2020 mock draft after NFC Championship loss

Many fans will certainly lament the rollercoaster of emotions that is watching Kevin King play cornerback. However, the truth of the matter is that he and Jaire Alexander form a formidable 1-2 punch on the outside at the position. Beyond those two, however, there are depth concerns for the Packers in that regard and there is a need to get a young player that can help play at the nickel moving forward.

Levonta Taylor — especially getting him in Round 5 — appears to be a fantastic candidate to take up that role. The Florida State product is terrific in coverage with fantastic footwork, instincts and playmaking ability. His biggest issue is a concerning lack of size as he looks smaller than the listed 5-10. Size doesn’t always make plays though and Taylor is proof of that. If the Packers can get over those limitations, they’ll find they have a stud on their hands.

The Packers’ needs on the offensive line don’t stop at tackle. While Elgton Jenkins had a phenomenal rookie season and Corey Linsley remains solid at center, Billy Turner is still a question mark at the other guard spot opposite Jenkins. Furthermore, there is a need for depth at all of the spots along the interior, meaning that utilizing Green Bay’s extra fifth-rounder to address is a sensible option.

Darryl Williams subsequently is coming off of the board and is a pick you have to like at this spot. At 6-3, 310 pounds, the Mississippi State product has the physical tools and experience to move around on the interior as needed. While likely not ready to be a starter as he needs to develop his footwork and technique with his hand usage, Williams is well worth the time and investment given the Pack’s need.
