Packers 2019 NFL Draft Rumors: QB Drew Lock to Visit Green Bay

Missouri Tigers quarterback Drew Lock is reportedly working out with the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, according to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports.

Robinson broke down why the Packers might be exploring the quarterback market in this year's draft despite still having superstar Aaron Rodgers atop the depth chart:

Lock isn't the only quarterback Green Bay has tried to work out. Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported the Packers also tried to visit with Duke's Daniel Jones though the "timing didn’t work out." He added that the Packers are "doing their work on these passers."

As for Lock, he's had a number of visits already:

Where Lock ends up remains to be seen, but it's looking increasingly likely he'll be off the board in the first round. NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah has Lock at No. 24 on his big board, noting he has the "desired height and bulk for the position" and "owns a quick delivery and generates plenty of RPMs with minimal strain or effort."

He added that the young quarterback is "an excellent athlete. Overall, Lock needs to polish his footwork and tone down his aggressiveness, but he has a special skill set and tremendous upside."

Quarterbacks tend to jump off the board early, and it's possible Lock, Jones, Oklahoma's Kyler Murray, Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins and perhaps even West Virginia's Will Grier could be off the board in the first round.

If Green Bay wants Lock, they'd likely need to grab him at No. 12 overall. But it's unclear how that would sit with both the fanbase and the rest of the locker room given that Rodgers is still producing at a high level and the Packers could address other needs with such a valuable pick.

It's also possible if Lock remains on the board that the Packers could trade back, grab other assets and still target Lock. But the longer they wait, the less likely he'll be available. Of course, the Packers could also be visiting with Lock to give the impression they want to pick him, hoping a quarterback-needy team will offer them an appealing trade offer if Lock remains on the board at No. 12.
