The annual seven-round, 259-pick mock draft from Dane Brugler of The Athletic has the Green Bay Packers focusing on playmakers for the defense early and often in the 2021 NFL draft.
Brugler, the author of a massive and well-respected draft guide, used his wealth of information to help create what he believes is a realistic seven-round simulation of the draft. And for the Packers, he started with Virginia Tech cornerback Caleb Farley in the first round and Missouri linebacker Nick Bolton in the second round, providing two athletic and talented disruptors at need positions within Green Bay’s defense.
