Green Bay Packers trade down in 7-round 2020 mock draft post-free agency

The Packers used their first selection in this 7-round mock draft to add some quality depth to the wide receiver corps but they shouldn’t stop there. Not only is the 2020 NFL Draft exceptionally deep at the position but the need is also that great for Green Bay in their current situation.

Subsequently, Green Bay uses their own fourth-round pick to take Tyler Johnson out of Minnesota. The best moments on Johnson’s tape are up there with the best players in the class. However, the 6-2, 205-pound pass-catcher appears to be only a fine athlete with limited long speed and questionable separation ability in that regard.

For me, however, Johnson’s ability to win in contested-catch situations and his refined route-running make him undervalued as a prospect at this point. Adding him with Adams and the speed of Reagor would make for an impressive tandem that Aaron Rodgers can really start to cook with.

An underrated aspect of what the Packers have built in recent years is, without question, the improvements they’ve made in the secondary. Between Jaire Alexander and Kevin King, suffice it to say that Green Bay believes they have two future outside corners who are good already and have room to grow, especially with consistency.

The depth at cornerback, however, is an issue and the Packers could be interested in improving in the slot. To try and address that and get some competition in the building, they select Trajan Bandy with their first of three sixth-round selections.

Bandy isn’t the greatest athlete and his size (5-9, 186 pounds) limits his overall prospects as an NFL player. That being said, he has great footwork and quickness in short areas, which seemingly slots him into being a great nickel player. Throw in his willingness and capability of getting physical, even with his frame, and he’s a player a defensive coordinator will love.
