49. . EDGE. Wisconsin. T.J. Watt. 29. player

The Green Bay Packers look to bolster their pass rush and keep Wisconsin’s T.J. Watt close to home by bringing him in at the end of Round 1.

He is a rising talent on draft boards, and it wouldn’t be a shock to see Green Bay look to him to find some younger production on this side of the ball.

Watt would also be an ideal fit off the edge in the Packers’ 3-4 defensive scheme and would likely negate any concerns about his 6-foot-4, 252-pound size being a “tweener.”
