31. Green Bay Packers (6-0)- Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State
Obviously, I’m not as high on Jalen Ramsey as most but he makes sense here for the Green Bay Packers. Ramsey has tons of raw talent but has plenty of work to do in order to become a complete and consistent player. His development starts with finding a permanent home whether it’s at safety or cornerback.
Green Bay could use some help at either position with Sam Shields having a down year and Morgan Burnett struggling with injury.
USC’s linebacker Su’a Cravens could be another option as someone in the mold of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ryan Shazier. Cravens would give the Packers the ability to move Clay Matthews back to the outside.
Forfeited pick-New England Patriots (6-0)
