I think this is possible because all of them except maybe Davenport will be available when you took them.  Unfortunately it is because they are all over drafted by one or two rounds.  This would be a let down if it came to fruition.

Overall I was looking for some different names that seemed to fit what the Packers look for in their prospects. I tend to create mocks that are as realistic as possible. I don't typically project players to "drop" in my mock drafts. The Rounds I have these players going in are based off NFL.com's Draft Projections. 

Thanks for the feedback.

I like this draft well enough, but am puzzled by why so many want to re-sign Jarhi Evans. He was pretty terrible this year and there appears to be no gas left in that tank. Time to move on from him. 

I thought he played very well considering his age. I would assume he'd come back for rather cheap. Not much risk.

A late round guy I would like GB to grab if available (5th round comp and later) is Leon Jacobs. He may have a massive combine and someone reaches a bit, but that dude has some raw untapped potential. I think he could be a beast as a ST player and in time develop as an OLB.

The positions drafted are almost by-the-numbers as I would like them. Edge, WR, TE, CB, T/G, Edge, CB, T/G, S, T/G, WR, QB. You could take a QB higher, instead of the third T/G, then a kicker late at the vacated QB spot, since Crosby is 33 now.

In a perfect world I'd have tried to trade down in round one a few spots. Then add the extra pick we got for that with a third rounder to get a second, 2nd round pick. That would be my spot to try for a better corner.

Overall a draft that (in my opinion) takes the various positions at their sweet spot.

A little undersized but it sounds like he's long and a great athlete. Will be interesting to see how he does at the combine and/or pro day.
