  1. Green Bay Packers

Vadal Alexander – OL – LSU

Aaron Rodgers hit the ground 46 times this season. For a team that is as dependent on their quarterback perhaps more so than any other that is unacceptable.

Alexander can push for a starting spot right away, but if he doesn’t get it he’ll serve as invaluable depth at either guard or tackle. Regardless, the Packers need to address the offensive line in the draft.

Elsewhere, Green Bay has an aging defense so they could stand to restock their defensive line and linebacking corps. There are a number of options to address those concerns like Darron Lee at linebacker or Emmanuel Ogbah at defensive end.
