OLB Rashan Gary – No. 12, Packers

This would have been a shock at No. 3, but Gary possessed a lot of raw skill as a linebacker that some teams were salivating over. He ended up falling to the Packers at No. 12, where didn’t have the greatest rookie season. 

Gary was never going to supplant the Packers’ duo of Preston Smith and Za’Darius Smith, but he only finished with two sacks, three quarterback hits and three tackles for a loss. He played in just 23 percent of the Packers’ defensive snaps.
