  1. Green Bay Packers

Emmanuel Ogbah – DE – Oklahoma State

The Packers have two big needs. Pass rushers and offensive lineman which will make the first pick in this years draft very interesting. In the NFC North however getting defensive pressure is important and controlling the line of scrimmage is a taks the Packers need to be better at.

Ogbah is a solid defensive end that will fit into the Packers 3-4 defense. He can get off the line quick and use his power to muscle through offensive lineman. His stock has slipped some since earlier mock drafts were released which should favor the Packers.

If the Green Bay Packers go offensive line it won’t be a surprise and at some point they need to do just that. If they don’t fix what’s wrong on the offensive line it will be another disappointing season in 2016. Aaron Rodgers was hit consistently and the lack of line play doomed the Packers rushing offense. The injuries to wide-receivers surely didn’t help but even when the receivers were open, Rodgers more often than not didn’t have time to make his reads and throws. Late in the season the lack of play on the line sent the Packers into a tailspin.
