As the debate rages on about who would be the better pick among linebackers Kenneth Murray and Patrick Queen in the first round, the reality is neither will probably be there for the Packers to claim with their 30th overall selection.
The prospect of losing out on both of them, however, shouldn’t be viewed in tragic terms given the bounty of inside and/or weak-side linebackers that could be awaiting Packers’ management in the second and third rounds.
Some or all of these options possess many of the characteristics that Mike Pettine covets in his second-level defenders in that they all bring varying levels of versatility to the table.
