2011 NFL Mock Draft: All 32 1st Round Picks, Packers Need O-Line Help

NFL Mock Draft 2011 Says Love Is The Answer For The Packers

For a Super Bowl Champion the Green Bay Packers are an amazingly young team with few players whose contracts just expired.

One area where they may be hurt by age and free agency is the offensive line. LT Chad Clifton is 34, and LG Daryn Colledge is no longer under contract.

This year's draft is not top heavy with tackles, but there are some very solid late first round and second round tackles.

Ben Ijalana, the LT out of Vilanova, would be a great fit for the Packers.

Ijalanas has some size concerns as a tackle, but  he has the ability that would allow him to start at guard. This would allow him to fill the hole left by Colledge, and give the Packers time to decide if he can play tackle while Clifton finishes out his career.
