GREEN BAY, Wis. – By now, you can recite the Green Bay Packers’ draft needs in your sleep. They need cornerbacks good enough to beat playoff quarterbacks. They need to beef up the offensive and defensive lines. They could use another playmaker on offense.
With three weeks until the draft, here is our fifth Packers mock draft. This time, we used the Pro Football Network simulator.
First round – Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech: Talent-wise, Farley might be a top-10 talent. However, recent surgery on a herniated disc will be a medical red flag that will push him down boards in a deep field of cornerbacks. While he believes he’ll be ready for the start of training camp, the loss of (potential) offseason practices will be a setback after opting out of the 2020 season. It’s worth noting the Packers haven’t been shy on rolling the dice on injured players – cornerback Kevin King the obvious example.

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to take an in-depth look at each of the Jets’ offseason acquisitions, continuing today with offensive lineman Dan Feeney.
The 26-year old is listed at 6’4” and 310 pounds and was a third round pick out of Indiana in 2017. In four NFL seasons, he’s started 57 games, including all 16 in each of the past three seasons. Feeney became the Chargers’ starting center in 2020 having mostly played at guard prior to last year.
Background
Feeney was a three-star high school recruit but made an instant impact at Indiana as he was voted as a freshman all-American first-teamer and honorable mention all-Big Ten in 2012. He didn’t give up a sack in 12 starts.
