The Green Bay Packers were painfully close to reaching the Super Bowl this past season, but with several key players entering free agency, there is much work to do if the team is going to get back to the NFC Championship. The Packers will have several holes to fill during the draft, so here is a mock draft of what Green Bay may do in the 2015 NFL Draft.

First Round - Carl Davis, Defensive Tackle, Iowa

B.J. Raji probably isn't coming back to Green Bay, but Davis would be a great replacement for him. He has great size and strength, and is more than willing to take on double-teams. He moves well for a player his size, and can push blockers backwards in one-on-one situations, providing a big boost to the Green Bay defensive line.

Second Round - Clive Walford, Tight End, Miami

Aaron Rodgers can always use more weapons, and Walford will give him an athletic, pass-catching tight end at his disposal. Walford has strong hands, great leaping ability, and will create mismatches against opposing secondaries with his athleticism, giving the Packers the kind of playmaker they're currently lacking at tight end.

Third Round - Senquez Golson, Cornerback, Ole Miss

The Packers have a couple of cornerbacks heading for free agency this offseason, so they're going to have to add some help at that position. Golson is a bit undersized, but he has impressive athleticism with the footwork and hips required of NFL cornerbacks. He's a turnover machine and will be an instant asset to the Green Bay secondary.

Fourth Round - Stephone Anthony, Linebacker, Clemson

Inside linebacker is one of the weakest spots of the Green Bay defense, and Anthony is a perfect fit to give the Packers an upgrade. He brings a physical presence and is an aggressive run stuffer who can provide some vicious hits. The Packers need help at inside linebacker and Anthony will be a great pick-up for them on Day 3 of the draft.

Fifth Round - Corey Robinson, Offensive Tackle, South Carolina

Whether the Packers will re-sign Bryan Bulaga remains to be seen, and drafting Robinson will guard against losing Bulaga in free agency. Robinson has the size to be an NFL tackle and a lot of athleticism for a player of his size. Even if the Packers bring back Bulaga, Robinson will give Green Bay depth at the two offensive tackle positions, making him a valuable pick at this stage of the draft.

Sixth Round - Trey DePriest, Linebacker, Alabama

One linebacker probably won't be enough for the Packers, so they'll double up at that position on Day 3. DePriest has an ideal skillset for a middle linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, and even if he doesn't step in as a starter right away, he'll be a more than viable backup as he's well prepared to play in the NFL after playing his college ball at Alabama.

Seventh Round - Marcus Murphy, Running Back, Missouri

Murphy is slight of size and won't be a feature player in an NFL offense, but he has the skills to be used in a variety of ways. He could see time as both a running back and receiver. giving the Green Bay offense a receiving target out of the backfield, a slot receiver and a kick returner. This versatility could make him a useful addition this late in the draft.
