The final mock drafts are rolling in and there’s a disturbing similarity. Many of the players that the Green Bay Packers seem to want the most are penciled in to go in the four or five picks just before the Packers are scheduled to choose at No. 14. If that happens, the remaining players the Packers have been linked to are mostly near the end of the first round.
That’s not an optimal setup. The Packers could end up having to take a player at No. 14 who is really more of a late first round talent. That would yield the same result as in most of the past decade.
