Packers Must Find a Defensive Playmaker in Round One

The 2019 NFL draft is getting closer and closer. We are now just one day away from the NFL's annual selection meeting and with the Packers owning two first-round picks, Thursday should be an exciting night.

As far as what the Packers need to accomplish Thursday, it's pretty simple. They need to pick good players.

For all the hoopla surrounding the draft and all the talk about drafting for need or best player available -- the simple truth is that the Packers need to find good players.

And one of those guys needs to be an impact player on defense, because even after signing three big-money free agents, the defense still lacks playmaking.
