Packers 2018 Draft: Five potential first-round targets

The buildup to the 2018 NFL Draft tends to surpass the payoff of the event since it takes years to assess if a pick will inspire satisfaction or regret.

As we know, in the case of first-rounders, results vary from Aaron Rodgers in 2005 to Tony Mandarich in 1989. So, like any other draft, the 2018 class presents more intrigue than certainty, but it’s much easier to nail down the Green Bay Packers‘ areas of need: Cornerbacks, pass rushers, and protecting their two-time MVP quarterback.

Green Bay’s secondary surrendered 30 touchdown passes last season, which tied for the second most in the league, and opposing passers torched them for a 102 QB rating, the NFL’s second-worst mark.
