First off, lets look at the Packers most glaring needs:

A starting free safety
shoring up the offensive line
outside pass rush
inside pass rush
------------------------------------

Now lets take a look at the draft:

Safety
Deionte Thompson
Lukas Denis
Johnathan Abram

I would pass up L.Denis and J.Abram (and Jaquan Johnson, if you rate him) for other guys that are more FS than SS. They would include Nasir Adderley, Juan Thornhill and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. They all seem to fit in the late 2nd early third round area, though Thornhill's draft position has wide variance.

Hybrid DE / OLB
Clelin Ferrell
Rashan Gary
Zach Allen
Jaylon Ferguson
Chase Winovich

I'd add Charles Omenihu (Texas) to this group. Looks like a third round pick. https://draftwire.usatoday.com/2018/11/29/2019-nfl-draft-prospects-collegefootball-texas-charles-omenihu-scouting-report-interview/2/

Offensive Tackles

Jonah Williams
Greg Little
Jawaan Taylor
Dalton Risner
David Edwards
Andre Dillard
Yodny Cajuste
Kaleb McGary

Offensive Guards

Cody Ford
Michael Deiter
Chris Lindstrom

Risner, Cajuste and Ford all should be adept at playing both RG and RT, which would make them very attractive to the Packers who want RG help now and a starting RT after the end of the 2019 season when Bulaga's contract expires.

Answering the question as to where the value lies, it's all guesswork until the draft has happened, but you can make some assumptions on the grouping of talent. Round one (#12) could see an edge rusher like Polite, M.Sweat or, if lucky, Ferrell. The later round one pick looks good value for taking a versatile OT/OG like Cajuste or Ford. At free safety, later in round 2, to early in round three looks to be the sweet spot, with a choice of at least three.

A great scenario would be Clowney, if he hit the open market(doubt it). Or Suggs for a year or two, but he has the same love surrounding him in Baltimore as Ray Lewis did. One of them would be great, then if White fell to us at 12, and with the second pick we score Fant, or the TE from Bama, or Ximines (sp). That's a good start to the offseason.

Okay, really bored so I let Fanspeak pick the draft.  Gotta say, I'd be pretty okay with this draft.  It was tempting to drift a little bit and pick players that I liked more, but very happy with the first two picks




12: R1P12    LB DEVIN WHITE  LSU

32: R1P32    EDGE MONTEZ SWEAT  MISSISSIPPI STATE

44: R2P12    C ELGTON JENKINS  MISSISSIPPI STATE

75: R3P11    EDGE CHASE WINOVICH  MICHIGAN

114: R4P12  RB DARRELL HENDERSON MEMPHIS

118: R4P16   WR JAKOBI MEYERS  NC STATE

151: R5P12     LB TE'VON CONEY  NOTRE DAME

187: R6P12  TE JOSH OLIVER  SAN JOSE STATE

195: R6P20  RB RYQUELL ARMSTEAD  TEMPLE

228: R7P12  WR DREDRICK SNELSON  UCF

Still disagree with your FA choices, but definitely like the positions drafted, and the trades for extra picks. A nice balance of offense/defense, all in areas of need. The players themselves? Its always a crap shoot, but if the Packers hit on a couple starters and a couple solid backups, that would be a very good draft.
