GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers probably won’t be in position to draft the top pure inside linebacker this year. Mel Kiper Jr. doesn’t think they need him.
Both Kiper and fellow ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay believe Alabama’s Reggie Ragland will be long gone by the time the Packers pick at No. 27. McShay has the Detroit Lions taking Ragland at No. 16 in his latest mock draft, while Kiper has the New York Jets going with him at No. 20 in his latest mock.
