Plenty of fans know what the Packers team needs are; it would be great if the Ted Thompson could get his hands on Myles Jack, Reggie Ragland or (insert your favorite player here).  However, the chances that someone like Jack or Ragland fall all the way to 27 are pretty slim and while it is possible to trade up and get "the guy" realistically Ted Thompson is never going to break the bank to move up into the top 15, let alone the top 5 or 10.  So realistically, the question should not be "who should the Packers take?" but "who will be available when the Packers pick at 27?".  One interesting way to answer this question is to see how many players at a certain position have been selected in previous drafts up to pick 27 and work backwards from there.  The concept is that over the last 10 years, on average 2.8 quarterbacks have been selected before the 27th pick, meaning the Packers would have the choice to pick the 3rd or 4th best quarterback should they choose.  Naturally some years will be better for some positions than others (like this year there likely will be more DTs selected while there might not be a tight end drafted in the first round at all.  With that being said, who will likely be available at pick 27 for the Packers?  To answer this question I've compiled the draft statistics for the last 10 years and I will be using CBS's big board as my player rankings. 

QB (2.8 picked per year): The Packers will likely have their choice of Connor Cook and Christian Hackenberg if they are looking for the quarterback to replace Aaron Rodgers.  Obviously the Packers are going to get at minimum several good years out of Rodgers and are probably not too worried about Brett Hundley as their backup so realistically there's almost no chance that the Packers take any quarterback in the first 4 rounds.  

RB (2 picked per year): While the Packers are likely going to miss out on Ezekiel Elliott the Packers could pick Derrick Henry or Devontae Booker to be Eddie Lacy's running mate should they choose.  My personal feeling again is that the Packers likely won't pick a running back so high, especially considering how poorly the return on investment is for running backs in general．

WR (3.4 picked per year): WR is actually the most common pick on offense in the NFL draft over the last 10 years with lots of dubious picks as teams reach.  WＲ is also an unlikely selection given how much the Packers have already invested both in draft picks (almost all the starters are 2nd or 3rd round picks) and money (both Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb make top end WR money).  However, if the Packers were to pick a WR, they would likely have their pick of Josh Doctson, Tyler Boyd and Michael Thomas.  This year does feature a particularly deep group of 1st round wide receivers so likely all the true difference makers will be gone way before pick 27.  

TE (.5 picked per year): The Packers will likely have their pick of the entire crop of tight ends since so few are selected in the 1st round but unfortunately, this year is considered pretty bleak when it comes to top tight end talent with only Hunter Henry even being a borderline candidate to be picked in the 1st round.  While the Packers could surely use the help of a seam stretching tight end it's likely they will have to wait to the later rounds or next year to find their guy. 

OT (3.7 picked per year): OT is probably the first position so far that is a realistic selection for the Packers.  David Bakhtiari is a decent enough player but as left tackle is the marqee player on the offensive line, it's possible that some other team will overpay for his services next year when he becomes a free agent.  While lots of offensive tackles are picked every year, it's also considered as one of the safer selections.  At pick 27 the Packers will likely have their pick of Taylor Decker, Jason Spriggs and Germain Ifedi, which isn't too bad of a group considering how late the Packers pick.  

OG (1.1 picked per year): Both TJ Lang and Josh Sitton will be free agents next year and it might make sense to draft at least one of their replacements.  Guards are very rarely drafted in the first round and the Packers will again pretty much have their choice of the top rated guards in the draft.  This year Cody Whitehair, Vandall Alexander and Joshua Garnett will likely all be available when the Packers are on the clock.

DE (3.9 picked per year): Defensive line players get a little tricky to project since some are considered 4-3 DEs while other will be converted to 3-4 OLBs, but on average about 4 players who played DE in college will be drafted. The Packers certainly could use help on the defensive line and players such as Emmaneul Ogbah or Kevin Dodd will likely be available for the Packers to select.

DT (2.7 picked per year): A likely position the Packers will try to fill high in the draft, the Packers finally get a little bit lucky as this year is supposed to be have plenty of talented defensive tackles in the draft.  Jarran Reed, Andrew Billings and Robert Nkemdiche will likely all be there at 27 for the Packers to pick.

LB (3.3 picked per year): Again this average is little wonky given how some DEs are labelled LBs when they enter the league and how there's a distinct difference between OLBs and MLB/ILBs in the league.  Nevertheless, the Packers will likely see Jaylon Smith, Joshua Perry and Kentrell Brothers available when they select.

DB (4.9 picked per year): The Packers are pretty stocked at both CB and FS/SS so this isn't a likely place to spend their first round pick, add to that DBs are selected most often in the entire draft and the Packers will likely be picking fringe 1st round/solid 2nd round talent at the end of the 1st day.  Players like Jeremy Cash, Artie Burns and Xavien Howard will be available but none are considered 1st round picks in their own right.
