Packers mock entering Day 3 of the NFL Draft
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

The Green Bay Packers have already selected five players in this year's draft: offensive lineman Jordan Morgan, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, safety Javon Bullard, running back MarShawn Lloyd, and linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper. But there are still many opportunities to get better, since the Packers are slated to have eight picks on Saturday.

CHeck out our last mock draft of the season.

Fourth round, pick 126 - IOL Tanor Bortolini, Wisconsin

The Packers got Morgan, but the offensive line is still an issue. Josh Myers is in the last year of his deal, and Bortolini has versatility to play center or guard, giving the coaching staff more depth around the unit.

Fourth round, pick 134 - EDGE Mohamed Kamara, Colorado State

I traded up picks 168 and 202 to move back into the fourth round and take Kamara for two main reasons. The first is because the Packers do have a lot of draft capital, and moving around makes sense. Second, because the edge options after Kamara were not great. So, I acted quickly to secure a talented pass rusher, who could be the fourth in the rotation after Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, and Lukas Van Ness while Kingsley Enagbare recovers from his ACL injury.

Fifth round, pick 169 - CB Decamerion Richardson, Mississippi State

The best cornerback options are gone, but the Packers could still find a valuable depth piece in the fifth round. He has outstanding physical tools, even though his rawness is evident. Under Jeff Hafley, the player would have the opportunity to improve his game.

Sixth round, pick 190 - S Trey Taylor, Air Force

He's a late-round darling, with good ability to cover and protect the middle of the field. The Packers have already taken Javon Bullard, but Brian Gutekunst hasn't shied away from taking multiple players at the same position.

Sixth round, pick 219 - DT Jaden Crumedy, Mississippi State

Second player from Mississippi State in this mock, Crumedy is a powerful interior player. For the Packers, he would enter a strong rotation and would have to develop as a pass rusher to be a real contributor, but his talent in the sixth round is good value.

Seventh round, pick 245 - QB Devin Leary, Kentucky

Brian Gutekunst said he wants to keep taking quarterbacks to develop, and Leary can be that. He's already 24, which is a problem in terms of ceiling, but the earlier options didn't make sense on the board. Leary isn't a runner, however, he can be a creative thrower, which elevates his potential.

Seventh round, pick 255 - TE Brevyn Spann-Ford, Minnesota

At this point, the Packers would be glad to take a potential special teams contributor, even though the tight end room has Tyler Davis specifically for that role.
