Packers address defense in FanSided post-Super Bowl mock draft

If there’s one thing the Super Bowl showed us, it’s the importance of a strong defense. The Green Bay Packers defense made improvements in 2018, but still has a long way to go.

In Brad Weiss’ post-Super Bowl mock draft for FanSided, he has the Packers strengthening the pass rush and secondary in the opening round. Finding upgrades at edge rusher and safety is key for this defense to take the next step.

With the 12th overall pick, Weiss has the Packers selecting Michigan edge rusher Rashan Gary. With the 30th selection, Green Bay selects Alabama safety Deionte Thompson.
