With two selections in the first round, the Packers were hard at work trying to bolster their defensive unit. With the 12th pick, the Packers selected Rashan Gary and then traded the 30th, 114th, and 118th picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for the 21st selection where they selected safety Darnell Savage.
With these two first-round selections, the Packers added a versatile edge rusher who can pressure the quarterback as well as make plays against the run and a safety who can make plays on the ball as well as at the line of scrimmage.
