The Packers did something unusual.

They didn’t trade down, and they found the safety help they needed.

The Packers used the 21st overall pick on Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who could add the playmaker they need to help cover Lions first-round right end Eric Ebron and others.

Clinton-Dix is the kind of rangy safety they need in the back of a defense that improved this offseason, with the addition of Julius Peppers.
