Moving onto defense in the positional rankings, below is a list of interior defensive lineman who I think could play nose tackle or defensive end in the Packers 3-4 scheme. The Packers find themselves very thin up front in both quality starters and depth. It would behoove the Packers to address this position relatively early in the draft and at least one more time in the mid to late rounds. I’ve only ranked players I feel comfortable enough to form a solid opinion/analysis on. It would be disingenuous to rank players I don’t have a strong opinion on.
