It. Is. Time. Time for the writers here to document their predictions for who the Packers will take with their first draft pick.

Jersey Al Bracco

Harold Landry - For several years I've been yearning for a pass rusher that can win the edge and basically do what Clay Mathews used to do. I shifted gears to cornerback when the Packers traded Damarious Randall, but now that Tramon Williams and Davon House have returned to Green Bay, I'm comfortable making pass rush priority #1 again. Landry is capable of coming in and having the same impact a young Matthews once had for the Packers. 

Tim Backes

Marcus Davenport - I haven't decided yet how I personally feel about Davenport. He's definitely got some risk attached to him, but he's also got a tremendous amount of natural talent. Lots of expert analysts seem to believe he'll be available at 14, which would certainly make him a tempting selection. I believe that unless there's a major rush earlier in the draft, the Packers are going to go with an edge rusher to try to inject some life into their pass rush, but a guy like Josh Jackson or Denzel Ward could also make sense, depending on who's available.

Ryan Brunner

Harold Landry - While still needing some honing of his craft as a pass rusher at the NFL level, I believe that Landry can make the 2018 Packers defense better the day he joins the team.  Mike Pettine has the ability to scheme to his strengths as a pass rusher right away while giving him time to learn from the likes of Clay Matthews and Nick Perry.  I think other coveted defenders like Tremaine Edmunds, Roquan Smith, Denzel Ward and Derwin James will be off the board prior to the 14th pick and I can't envision a move up in the first round to grab one of them.

Dan Dahlke

Leighton Vander Esch -- It's no secret the Packers love the athletic linebacker from Boise State, and there's a really good chance he'll still be on the board when the Packers are on the clock with the 14th overall pick. He would give them a versatile defender who could play inside or outside linebacker. He's a rangy middle linebacker who can hold up in coverage, but he also has the physical tools to develop into a pass rusher. However, if Minkah Fitzpatrick or Derwin James happen to fall in the draft then they could go with one of the defensive backs. I'm just very skeptical Fitzpatrick or James will still be on the board by pick 14.

Josh Jackson — So Jackson was my pick in the mock I did, and he remains so now. The Packers will absolutely go after a defensive player as they need an impact player and the secondary needs some help. Jackson is a ball-hawk and while he has some rough edges, I believe he can bait NFC North quarterbacks into throwing at them and making them pay.

Zachary Jacobson

Josh Jackson — Listen, I've screamed Harold Landry's name from the rooftops for two months now. As much as I want to see him in Green Bay, there's a high chance that the Packers are taking a defensive back, whether it's someone like Iowa's Josh Jackson or Alabama's Minkah Fitzpatrick; both of which the Packers are reportedly very interested in selecting. I've slowly but surely come to terms with the fact that Derwin James won't be available by the time the Packers are on the clock. The beauty of where the Packers are in terms of draft position and number of picks they have in their pocket (12), is the possibility of trading up, down, sideways, is certainly very realistic. That, and it'd be impossible for them not to come away with an impact defensive player in the first round.

Cory Jennerjohn

Tremaine Edmunds — The thing that stands out to me about Edmunds is character. He only turns 20 in May, but he is also versatile enough to attack the quarterback or destroy the running game. This move would also add versatility to defensive coordinator Mike Pettine's palette. It would give Pettine more room to put Clay Matthews inside and it instantly adds depth to a position that's the most important in a 3-4 defense. 

Matt Kelley

Derwin James - Maybe he falls to 14; maybe the Packers need to trade up for him. The Packers have done better when they have a Swiss Army Knife defensive back to work with, i.e. Charles Woodson and, to a lesser extent, Micah Hyde. James can play safety, nickel or even some in the box. That kind of versatility could give Mike Pettine's defensive remodel a jump start. I just hope I'm not being a bit too optimistic. 

Timmy Noonan

Chris Peterson

Derwin James - The Packers need to find a way to get an impact player tonight and I think they will in Florida State safety Derwin James. Green Bay will need to surrender a second or third round pick to move up and make it happen, but James is worth it and he can help fix an ailing secondary immediately. 

Jason Perone

Josh Jackson - For the record, I like Minkah Fitzpatrick more but cornerback is such a major need for the Packers right now.  For once and for all, the Packers need to get it right at corner.  Kevin King may already be that, but we won't know until this season unfolds.  Jackson is a high-impact player, meaning he can come in and play a lot of meaningful snaps right away.  He doesn't have blazing speed but he's a pure corner, not a convert or a project.  An instant upgrade for the Packers' corner room.

Elisha Twerski

Harold Landry - Landry to the Packers is a perfect marriage of fit meets need, and there's a good chance that he will be available at 14. He can make an instant impact for Mike Pettine's defense and won't be limited to a third-down role due to his versatility. Roquan Smith and Derwin James might be the only players I'd want the Packers to take ahead of Landry.

Ross Uglem

Harold Landry - I had an excellent conversation with Justis Mosqueda on the Warm Room Podcast and ultimately in locked me into the following theory: take Landry or take a DB. That's it. The difference between Landry as a true pass rusher and the second best rusher in this class is wide. Especially since Chubb won't be available. I think he'll be there, and I think they should take him and grab a Jaire Alexander / Isaiah Oliver / MJ Stewart / Quenton Meeks type in round two or three.

Chris Wanless

Derwin James - I actually think there's a possibility the Packers try to trade up on draft day, and they will probably have to if they want to snag the uber-talented Florida State safety. James' ability to rush and cover is rare, giving him the ability to play a multitude of positions and making him an immediate cornerstone in Mike Pettine's defense should he end up in Green Bay.
