Packers’ scenarios: Best, worst & likely
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The safest NFL Draft prediction is that the Packers will be deeper and more talented by next week. Green Bay has ammunition to manipulate NFL Draft depending on who’s available.
The question is how much deeper and more talented?
Will it be enough to help Packers coach Mike McCarthy stay ahead of Chicago and leapfrog Minnesota and Detroit? Will it be enough to resuscitate a dormant defense? Will it be enough to replenish a once-prolific offense?
The first step to making that happen is the Packers’ draft board. If the personnel and coaching staffs have done their job, the Packers will be able to select an impact player with the 14th pick.
