49. The Green Bay Packers have come around just in time to make the playoffs after this season. WR Jordy Nelson is up to full speed while fellow WR Davante Adams his stepping up. The Packers even have a new all-purpose back with Ty Montgomery changing positions. <p>I can’t wait to see what he does with a different number and a full offseason at RB. He gives the Packers back a that catches the ball well and threat to take on to the house (4.38 40). And at 5’11”, 221 pounds he has the strength to drag tacklers as well.</p> <p>So the offense is a machine now and the team needs the defense to come around. They have a lot of injuries and some bad play in the secondary this year. That’s their weak area now so in the 2017 NFL Draft, they select CB Marshon Lattimore from Ohio State.</p> <p>Lattimore will be a man-to-man, shutdown CB, which is what the Packers like to play. So he is a natural fit to come in and do well right away for the team. Lattimore would also make the Packers deeper at CB so they can better absorb the injuries better. </p>. CB. Ohio State. Marshon Lattimore. 27. player
