The NFL Draft is soon upon us.  For the next two weeks you're going to see a lot of mock drafts, and I mean, like, a ​lot of mock drafts.  For the next three Mondays here at Cheesehead TV I"m going to provide you with the Packers' selections in ten of the top mock drafts on the net.  If the mocks provide a second round pick, we'll take a look at that too.  I've also included my own 7 round mock via FanSpeak.

Andrew Billings

Todd McShay

Pro Football Focus

Billings remains a popular option for Green Bay.  I've mentioned before that I have an issue taking a nose tackle early in the draft, considering the Packers only play a nose tackle on 14 or 15 plays per game.  The fact that Billings really does have a chance to develop pass rush is what saves the pick for me.

Vernon Butler

Jacob Westendorf

Cody Bauer

Butler has the versatility that maybe Billings does not.  Butler has tremendous length and is very disruptive.  The Louisiana Tech product has the ability to play nose, 3 and 5 technique in Capers defense.

Noah Spence

Ross Uglem- I did it.  I took him.  Look below.  See.

Sheldon Rankins

Will Brinson

Rankins at 27 would be highway robbery.  He's a very, very good player and will fit in any defensive scheme.  Should go in the top 12 as far as I'm concerned.

Jarran Reed

Matt Miller

DraftTek

If Reed is the selection, I'll understand it, I just won't like it.  I don't like addressing any phase of the run game in round 1. It's a passing league.  With that said, Reed is the finest run defender in this draft, and would theoretically take care of the nose tackle position on 1st and 2nd down for the rest of the Aaron Rodgers era.  

Chris Jones

Chad Reuter

Jones has the length and versatility to fit in Capers' scheme, but is a player that I would prefer in round 2, whether that means Green Bay has traded back or not.

Reggie Ragland

Mel Kiper

Ragland is the classic 3-4 inside linebacker.  Not necessarily the pure cover linebacker that Packers fans crave, but a very good player.  Ragland could solidify the inside linebacker position, with Ryan, for the foreseeable future.  Players like Micah Hyde and Joe Thomas can fill in during pass coverage situations.

Jonathan Bullard

Walter Football

Bullard is an odd pick.  I'm not sure where exactly he fits in a 3-4, but he is certanily a talented player.  I'd be "puzzled".  Puzzled in a very similar way that I was puzzled when Thompson took Randall in round 1 a season ago.

2nd round options:

Jihad Ward- Walter Football

Su'A Cravens- Ross Uglem

Jaylon Smith- Chad Reuter

Shillique Calhoun- Jacob Westendorf

Robert Nkemdiche- Mel Kiper

Ross Uglem Mock- done on FanSpeak using Matt Miller (Bleacher Report)'s Big Board

1. Noah Spence, EDGE - EKU, Spence was a former dominant player at the Ohio State University.  Had he stayed at Ohio State and stayed out of trouble, he'd be in the conversation as a top 10 pick, driving a narrative about he and Bosa being top 10 picks from the same line.  Spence will kick out to OLB in the Packers scheme, and will be a tremendous value at 27 if he is able to stay clean and motivated.  A top 10 talent.

2.  Su'A Cravens, S/OLB- USC, Cravens was a safety in college, but would slide in next to Jake Ryan as the WILB in Dom Caper's 3-4 defense.  The Packers woudl use Cravens in a very similar way that the Cardinals (successfully) use Deone Buchanan.  Right away the Packers might use Barrington next to Ryan on early downs and send Cravens in for sub packages, but he' would be part of the solution at ILB.

3.  Kenny Clark, DL - UCLA- I continued with Thompson's love of the Pac-12 and addressed the defensive line, using the depth of this class to acquire a starting quality player at 88th overall.  At 6'3" 314, Clark has the length to hold up at a lot of different positions across Caper's 2 and 3 man DL schemes.  Clark should be able to help the Packers right away, at least through Pennel's suspension.

4a. CJ Prosise, RB- Notre Dame- Prosise is a WR convert who catches the ball out of the backfield very well.  I also think he's a legitimate potential replacement for Eddie Lacy, especially if he's used in a committee with John Crockett in 2017.  Prosise gives the Packers leverage in the Lacy negotiations and opens up the 2016 offense.

4b. Adolphus Washington, DL - tOSU- Washington is another defensive line value at the end of the fourth round, because of the depth of the defensive line class.  Washington played in a 4-3 defense at Ohio State, but so did a lot of players that Thompson has selected to play defensive line over the years.  

4c. Kyle Murhpy, OT - Stanford- Murphy would be a capable right tackle immediate, and has the girth to play guard as well.  Murphy, like a lot of Thompson draftees played left tackle in college.  That Stanford offensive line opened up a lot of holes for Stepfan Taylor and Christian McCaffery during his time there.

5. Vadal Alexander, G, LSU- Alexander is a guard-only prospect, not something often taken by Thompson.  He is, however, with one year of seasoning a capable starting guard in the NFL.  His selection would immediately provide depth and give the Packers leverage in the forthcoming Josh Sitton and TJ Lang negotiations.

6.  Jerell Adams, TE, South Carolina- Adams is a long-term replacement for Jared Cook.  They even went to the same school.  I'd like to give new TE Coach Bryan Angelicho a chance to work with Adams and teach him the position for a year and unleash him in 2017.

7. Tom Hackett, P, Utah- The best punter in the draft, in my opinon.  Tim Masthay's time in Green Bay should be up.
