It’s about time the Green Bay Packers draft a linebacker early.
When considering the team’s list of top priorities entering the draft, it might not stand out at number one. But it’s a position the Packers tend to ignore in the early stages of the draft.
Could the fact that new defensive coordinator Joe Barry is a former linebackers coach change things? Perhaps.
Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports thinks so in his latest 2021 NFL mock draft. With the 29th overall pick, Trapasso has the Packers going with Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons.
