If the Green Bay Packers are going to draft a quarterback in this year's draft, it's going to be in the later rounds.

One name that could ultimately intrigue the Packers is Jeff Mathews from Cornell. Coming from a smaller school means that Mathews will likely be a project player at the start of his career in the NFL, which is completely fine with Green Bay.

Mathews has good size at 6'3" and 225 pounds to go along with a strong arm. His biggest issue once he gets into the league will simply be the speed of the game and his ability to make decisions quickly.

Green Bay might actually be one of the better situations that Mathews could be drafted into. He'd be able to sit on the bench for a handful of years until he's truly ready to take some regular-season snaps.

As long as Mathews doesn't skyrocket up draft boards with strong workouts heading up to the draft, he could be a fantastic target for the Packers as they look to improve their depth at quarterback.
