    The Packers should use this pick on a 3-4 middle linebacker. Chris Ransom has Beniquez Brown as a 3-4 left outside linebacker, but Brown can play anywhere in the 3-4 or the 4-3 with his versatility just like Myles Jack, Reggie Ragland, Jaylon Smith, and Scooby Wright. The Packers love Brown, and I haven't gave them a 3-4 middle linebacker yet, so they go with Beniquez Brown in the third round who should be lightyears better than Bernardrick McKinney of the Houston Texans.
