The Green Bay Packers have two young starting inside linebackers in Jake Ryan in Blake Martinez. The two might be able to hold their own at the position, but for the Packers, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add someone who can at least come in as a rotational player, if not start at the position.

Jarrad Davis could be another solid young linebacker for the Packers. Currently playing for the Gators, he’s an aggressive downhill backer who does a good job finding gaps, whether it’s in the run game or as a blitzer on pass plays.

Of course, Ted Thompson could go a number of ways with this pick, but an inside linebacker wouldn’t be the worst idea.
