Green Bay Packers
The Packers have a plethora of picks to use in trades up, but in Round 1 they stay put and address their receiver need by landing Mims, a 6-foot-3 outside weapon for Aaron Rodgers in the passing game. It's imperative the team doesn't put so much of the weight of a successful offense on Davante Adams, and that's where the Baylor product comes in.
The Packers replaced Blake Martinez with Christian Kirksey, but they still have a need at off-ball linebacker next to the former Brown. So they pay the 175th overall pick to move up three spots and hop a few teams for Brooks, an athletic weapon who has been largely underrated during the predraft process. The end of the third round should be a good spot to add talent at tight end, where they get a good receiver who is the TE1 on many boards.
Day 3 starts with a defensive lineman to add to their rotation before trading an unneeded seventh-rounder to move up for another big receiver in the Packers mold in Hodgins, who is talented enough to go a round earlier. The Packers then use their last three picks on depth for the offensive line and secondary.
