Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson were selected in the first two rounds to help buffer the team’s suspect secondary. Brian Gutekunst took three wide receivers to throw bodies at a position of need offensively, and casted a wide net by selecting a guard, two defensive linemen, a long snapper and a punter on day three of the draft.
Day two ended for the Packers when they traded up for Vanderbilt’s Oren Burks. The 23-year-old is physically imposing at 6-foot-3 and 233 pounds, yet is far more athletic than Jake Ryan. The Packers have needed an inside presence for their defense for far too long.
