How's this for a potential draft twist? The Green Bay Packers traded up for a wide receiver -- a position they haven't selected in the first round since 2002 -- to start Chad Reuter's latest seven-round mock draft for NFL.com. Instead of staying put at No. 23 overall, Reuter had the Packers move up four spots to No. 19 and get Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka at the price of exchanging a third-round pick for a fifth-round pick.

Egbuka is a versatile, high-floor pass-catcher who set the Ohio State record for receptions. Mark Oldacres of Packers Wire profiled Egbuka and his fit in Green Bay here.
