Time to get this started to talk about the draft. Packers without there 1st round pick in the Parsons trade and projected to get 1 comp pick in the 7th round.

Lot's of holes on the team and no way to fix them all in this draft. GB needs CB, OL and DT help and IMO all the picks should be in those area's as they could use 2-3 CB and OL each in this draft.
 
Agree this draft is about OL and CB for the Pack, though I'd throw in a run stopping DL in those mid-rounds somewhere. My only difference is that I don't draft more than 2 of either CB or OL because otherwise you either have to cut one or you end up with more "fake" depth - a late round pick you don't want to cut who's not ready to contribute.

In general, I'd take OL and CB on Day2 (rds 2/3) with a double up on OL in Rd 4 or 5. Take a DL in Rd 4 or 5 and another CB late. More specifically I'd draft an OT and OC for the OL. The OT needs to be able to play LT because that's the looming hole with Walker likely gone and Morgan an unknown out there and nobody else capable or ready to play that spot. I also think they need to draft an OC because Rhyan just isn't that good, Jenkins is gone, and Monk will likely never be good enough.

If I only get one CB in the draft, so be it, because I'd personally like to see them sign a CB in FA rather than have to count on a late round CB to contribute right away.

For my ideal draft it'd be: Rd2-OT, Rd3-CB, Rd4-OC, Rd5-DT, Rd6/7-bpa

I'd also move on from Luke Butkus as OL coach. I know that coaching is likely not the problem, but there has been a distinct lack of development of the OL and I'd like to see if a different voice in the room can work.
