The Green Bay Packers went with depth along the secondary and defensive line but they’ll go to the offense and build upon the offensive line.
The Packers have started the seventh round almost like how they started the NFL Draft. They have gone two defensive players and will now go offense with that third pick.
We have seen the Packers are looking to address the depth in certain positions and want to help out their special teams. Now, with the 249th pick, the Packers selected Penn State’s offensive tackle, Rasheed Walker.
