Dave Robinson Jersey , it could find value outside the first 32 picks."One more weekend remains in the football season with Super Bowl LIII set to kickoff Sunday evening in Atlanta. The Senior Bowl has come and gone and the NFL Combine is less than a month away. Since it’s Friday, it seemed like a good time for another round of Packers musings but with a draft-themed twist. Much has been made about the Packers’ draft possibilities with two picks in the first round. But Green Bay’s bread and butter when most successful has been its ability to identify contributors in the middle and late rounds. Today’s article features three potential candidates Green Bay could consider outside of round one in the 2019 NFL Draft, adding on to what appears to be a promising group of mid-round picks a year ago.Deebo Samuel, WR, South CarolinaGreen Bay’s lack of a slot receiver has been noted in the early part of this offseason, especially with Randall Cobb’s expiring contract. I still think that the Packers explore under-the-radar veterans in free agency, but, in the event that they do not, there are many draftable prospects to consider. Yes, Green Bay selected three receivers a year ago, but none are true slot receivers.One player who has some similarities to Cobb is Samuel, a dynamic SEC receiver. The knock on the South Carolina product is injury, as Samuel suffered a broken leg in week three of the 2017 season. After a slow start to his senior season comeback, Samuel began to showcase his talents once again. Like Cobb, Samuel can play outside if needed but would be more dangerous from the slot as a six-foot target. He has a thicker frame than Cobb with a similar level of physicality
Reggie White Jersey , but breaks more tackles after the catch than Cobb showed in his younger years. Samuel also has kick return experience and would give Green Bay immediate help in that department.A good showing at the Senior Bowl increased Samuel’s status. But still within day-two range, Samuel could be an explosive threat in an innovative offense with his route-running and separation skills.Tyree Jackson, QB, BuffaloUnder Ron Wolf, the Packers’ philosophy was to draft a signal caller on a near-yearly basis. However, Green Bay has selected a quarterback just once since the 2012 season, drafting Brett Hundley in 2015. While they have had stability at the position and traded for DeShone Kizer last year, the Packers could be in line to begin that trend once again.I could see Jackson being a late riser as draft season progresses, but he’s currently a boom-or-bust third-day prospect. With a large build reminiscent of former Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman, Jackson has strength as a runner and a powerful arm. As an overall passer, Jackson remains a bit raw and will need NFL coaching over time to fix mechanical issues with his slower release that leads to accuracy issues.Jackson could have used another year in college and was set to be a prime graduate transfer candidate. Instead, he will begin to state his case at the NFL Combine to be selected within the first three rounds. If not, Jackson would be an intriguing developmental prospect with Aaron Rodgers etched in as the Packers’ long-term starter under center. Isaac Nauta, TE, GeorgiaAs a College Football Playoff squad
Jaire Alexander Jersey , the Georgia Bulldogs had ample marquee television opportunities in 2018. And while Georgia has many future NFL talents - Jake Fromm, Deandre Baker, and Riley Ridley among others - one that consistently made big plays when most needed in the games I watched was Nauta, an early entry.Whether Green Bay keeps Jimmy Graham or not, it will need depth at tight end. Nauta improved significantly as a run blocker during his time with the Bulldogs, using his long arms to his advantage as a pass blocker as well. He has enough speed to stretch the field and his physicality as a runner and receiver made him a trustworthy target for Fromm.While many evaluators wonder if he will be able to separate at the next level, Nauta could be an excellent blocker at the position at the very least. Currently, Nauta could be a steal in the realm of rounds three or four. The former Packer was effectively done in Green Bay when the team elected not to tender him as a restricted free agent."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football Adviceelected not to tender him as a restricted free agent.CDTShareTweetShareShareFormer Packers safety Kentrell Brice signs 1-year deal with BuccaneersJeff Hanisch-USA TODAY SportsIt was all but a sure thing, but now it’s official. Safety Kentrell Brice will not be returning to the Green Bay Packers for the 2019 season.Brice, who spent the past three years in Green Bay after signing as an undrafted rookie out of Louisiana Tech, is headed to Florida. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they signed Brice to a one-year contract on Monday afternoon.With an expiring contract and three years of NFL experience under his belt, Brice was eligible for restricted free agency this offseason. However, the Packers elected not to offer him a tender to retain his rights as an RFA, which made him a street free agent and fully unrestricted when the new league year began last Wednesday. With no tender forthcoming, it was clear that Brice’s future in the NFL lied elsewhere.In 36 regular-season games over his three years
Josh Jackson Jersey , Brice made 14 starts, ten coming in 2018. He totaled 91 tackles with one sack, one interception, one fumble recovery, and six pass breakups. However, after some promising special-teams and reserve contributions in his first two seasons, he struggled when moving into the starting lineup this past season. This signing means that both of the Packers’ week-one starting safeties from 2018 are now gone, as Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was traded to Washington during the season. For now, the Packers have only three members of last year’s safety group under contract for 2019: Josh Jones, Tramon Williams, and Raven Greene. However, the team did land one of the more sought-after free agent safeties last week in Adrian Amos, formerly of the Chicago Bears.
