Green Bay Mock Draft Predictions – Rounds 1-3

Drafting is essential for the Packers as they are known as a draft-and-develop team that does not make huge splashes in free agency. It also creates competition among the various positions, which was vital to improving the offensive line last season. These picks are based on Gutty (GM Brian Gutekunst), the Green Bay scouting department, and the Packer’s overall draft room tendencies. These are the most important factors when the Packers draft in the Gutty era.

1) RAS (Relative Athletic Score)

2) Age (GM loves to go young)

3) Injury History (Gutty took shots at guys recovering from an injury when he first got the job; he doesn’t do this anymore unless it is later rounds or the RAS jumps off the table)

4) Prospect visits (Each NFL team can have up to 30) 

5) College performance and what is on your tape
