I'm much happier with my Packers draft than my Chiefs draft. There's not a single player on this list that I question if I made the right decision. BPA/need were fused together harmoniously to create this beautiful piece of art I call the Green Bay Packers 2013 draft:
1. Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
2. Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin
3. Johnathan Franklin, RB, UCLA
4. Josh Boyce, WR, TCU
5. Rod Sweeting, CB, Georgia Tech
5. Devin Taylor, DE/OLB, South Carolina
Eifert and Franklin were need picks (well, I made Eifert a need, anyway) that are going to add so much sizzle and pop to that offense. Frederick should already claim the starting center position in training camp, which will stabilize an interior offensive line plagued with injuries and guys like Evan Dietrich Smith not knowing wtf is going on. Boyce, Sweeting, and Taylor are all "depth" picks, but in the sense that their contributions on special teams and in reserve roles will be all they can do for a bit, but as the team learns to depend on them, they all have a great shot to be key players, and even starters on this Packers team.
Most importantly, they're selections that pick around the edges of cleaning up the pass protection issues. The Packers with three of their OTs 100% healthy is going to be the biggest thing. When they start getting back into sync, these guys like Eifert and Frederick are going to really fit the bill for them.
