Packers 2018 Draft Board Projection: Athletic edge rushers can be found in any round

As we continue our look at the Green Bay Packers’ possible board for the 2018 NFL Draft, we shift our attention over to edge rushers, one of the team’s biggest needs. The Packers, luckily, will find players who fit their recent trends available at all levels of this year’s draft.

The typical athleticism ranges for the Packers’ recent pass-rushing draft picks were defined by Justis Mosqueda last year, as he used adjusted speed and agility scores to account for the varied body types of players at the position. Last year’s lone pass-rusher, Vince Biegel, fit in with these numbers perfectly, as the Packers have tended to draft players with a speed score of -1.
