Some teams will view players such as Metcalf, Fant and Gary as workout warriors whose college production didn’t match their athletic talents. However, all it takes is one team to fall in love with a player, something that happens every year with players who “win” the combine. If teams fall for such players, it will only help the Packers.

It’s early, but the way it looks now, Murray, Haskins, Bosa, Allen, White, Quinnen Williams and Greedy Williams will almost certainly be off the board by the time the Packers pick. The rest remain a possibility for them.

Should the Packers want an edge rusher at 12, Sweat, Burns, Gary or Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell might be available. Elsewhere on defense, Oliver on the line and Bush at inside linebacker could still be on the board. About the only position of great need on the Packers defense that doesn’t have a player worthy of 12 is safety.
