Green Bay Packers 2012 NFL Draft Preview
With the 28th overall pick the Green Bay Packers select...? The Packers have needs on both sides of the ball, but their top priority needs to be a player that will improve their awful defense. The Packers need another pass rusher to complement Clay Matthews, and I think they need to take a proven college pass rushing linebacker or defensive end. They also might now target a safety since they released Nick Collins earlier today. I think the Packers will take a pass rusher with their first pick, but I would not be surprised if they did take a safety, even though it is not as big of a need. The Packers need to get an outside linebacker who can step in right away and make a difference. The answer to the Packers problems is outside linebacker Shea McClellin, from Boise State. McClellin has the length and skills to be a great fit in the Packers defensive system, and he also has a lot of experience that will allow him to contribute right away. The Packers have multiple needs, but the Packers will take a pass rusher, most likely Shea McClellin, with their first round pick. I would not be surprised though if the Packers move up in the draft.

I think McClellin is a solid pick late in the first round. I love Tyler Dunne's comments that the Pack, with 12 picks, can afford to gamble on a few selections. I look for them to take a few OLBs in later rounds. What would you give up to move up in the first round?
