It’s pretty well assumed that the Packers had a very strong 2017 Draft. From getting a first round talent in Kevin King to the next edition of the hybrid safety in Josh Jones, to even 7th rounder Malachi Dupre, the team more or less got great value up and down the Draft. But there are…
I know that a fellow writer covered this a few weeks ago, but with minicamps wrapping up, there’s plenty of down time to speculate what Ted and company will do with the Packer roster, so let’s give it a shot. For easy reading, we’ll go position group by position group to determine which guys will…
Ever since the Draft started back in 1936, the Packers have been pretty successful at getting good players out of the college ranks. And while we know about the most recent hits in Round 1, namely Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews, we tend to overlook those guys who were solid, dependable players for a long…

Analysis (Andrew Mertig): Amichia is a big (6’3″ 304lbs), athletic player who played Left Tackle for the University of South Florida. He will likely kick in to Guard as a professional, but the Packers prefer players who have experience at Tackle and can be position flexible. The Packers hosted Amichia on a pre-draft visit and really…
