Best players available on Day 2 at Packers’ need positions

Plenty of good talent is available at WR, OT, ILB, DL, CB and RB as the Packers approach Day 2 of the NFL draft.

The Green Bay Packers looked to the future in the first round of the 2020 draft, moving up to No. 26 overall to take Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. Now, GM Brian Gutekunst must maximize value on Day 2 if he wants to add immediate help to need areas on his roster.

Although the Packers pick late in the second and third round, there’s still plenty of good talent available at each need position.

Here are the best players left at receiver, offensive tackle, linebacker, defensive line, cornerback and running back:
