2012 NFL Mock Draft: Green Bay Packers 7 Rounds

Updated: November 28, 2011

The Packers are your defending Super Bowl champs. But just because Aaron Rodgers is playing MVP ball it does not mean that the Packers have no issues on defense.

The running back position is widely held down by journeymen type backs like James Starks. While he has played well, would they upgrade if given the chance? The team is also missing defensive tackle John Jolly who is serving a prison sentence.

So what will the Packers do in the NFL Draft?

packattack2011 has put together an awesome mock draft of the Pack. Check it out below:

1	Packers	Thompson, Brandon DT from Clemson Packers need another effective DE to get some pass rush. Mike Neal was supposed to replace Cullen Jenkins but cant stay healthy. Its very possible that Thompson goes earlier.
2	Packers	Ball, Montee RB from Wisconsin If Montee Ball comes out this year, he could be a steal in the second round. One mock showed him at number 16 in round one so who knows?
3	Packers	Acho, Emmanuel OLB from Texas Packers bring in an effective pass rusher to pair with Matthews and take some double teams away from him.
4	Packers	Fletcher, Donnie CB from Boston College The Packers have a decent CB group but its unspectacular. Woodson is a Hall Of Famer for sure and williams is really good, but behind them the depth isnt there. Fletcher could come in and challenge Shields for the 3rd CB spot.
5	Packers	Iloka, George S from Boise State Nick Collins neck injury could possibly be career-ending so they need some depth. Only undrafted FA MD Jennings is on the roster as a backup
6	Packers	McCants, Matt OT from UAB Packers love their linemen and why wouldnt they? They have All-Universe quarterback Aaron Rodgers and its in the best interest to keep him healthy
7	Packers	Burkett, Ben C from Northwestern The Packers are in contract talks with unsung hero C Scott Wells and they arent going well. I foresee undrafted rookie Sampson Genus being a starter at some point, but they will still need a backup if Wells flees
