Green Bay Packers pre-free agency 7-round 2020 mock draft

Jimmy Graham is off the Green Bay Packers roster after being cut, meaning that the team will need help at tight end moving forward. Jace Sternberger has a ton of potential but he’s still raw and needs some work. While they could bring back Marcedes Lewis to give a veteran presence at the position, they still need a future and more depth at tight end moving forward. Albert Okwuegbunam could be that.

While the Missouri product did not have an overly inspiring 2019 season, he still displayed great hands and improvement as a route-runner. However, his performance at the NFL Combine turned heads all around. Albert O showed explosiveness we rarely saw on film throughout his college career and, if he can put that on the field with his other tools, the Packers could be set for a long time at tight end.

There’s no question that the Packers have some talented cornerbacks that can help their cause long term in Jaire Alexander and Kevin King. While that may be true, they need depth at the position in the secondary and someone to start in the slot. As Lance Zierlein of NFL.com said, Josiah Scott has the tools to be that player:

"Affectionately nicknamed “The Gnat” by teammates for his pesky, persistent coverage talent and playing style. He has no issues checking athletic boxes with quick feet, smooth hips and explosive speed. He has above average recovery burst and athleticism, so he should be able to make the move to the slot despite limited reps there."

Scott may not be an overwhelming force and, if he ever wants to play on the outside, he must get stronger and develop his tackling. Overall, however, he’s a player who could see the field immediately in 2020.
