49. The Green Bay Packers are getting healthy to make a dash for the cash (playoffs) this year. They made a good move, picking up RB Christine Michael to replace injured Eddie Lacy. They might want to leave him in there when Lacy is able to return next year. <p>Aaron Rodgers and all of his receivers are clicking now too so that part has also been stabilized. So has the defense as they continue to get players back from all of the injuries they had. Everything looks like it’s back to normal so they likely won’t finish in this spot.</p> <p>But this is where they are now and O.J. Howard is the player they’ll likely get regardless. The Packers are good at getting players that get overlooked and turning them into stars. Alabama TE O.J. Howard is getting overlooked now because his numbers aren’t up there.</p> <p>But that isn’t his fault as Alabama now has a running quarterback in the Spread Offense. So here at No. 15 overall, the Packers will take him, knowing that he’s a matchup nightmare. And Rodgers will use him to bring the Packers back to among the elite in the NFC.</p>. TE. Alabama. O.J. Howard. 15. player
