Versatility key factor for Packers in draft at LB and S

Versatility will be what GM Brian Gutekunst looks for most when trying to address the safety and linebacker positions in the NFL draft.

Xavier McKinney will likely see the majority of his snaps played at the free safety position this season. That specific role is a very important part of the Jeff Hafley defense, and it is also where McKinney can make the biggest impact.

When filling that specific spot, the Packers will need a box safety to complement McKinney, and right now, there isn’t an obvious option for that role on the roster.
