We got a receiver.

I would like to think we target DL, Edge, and CB on day 2. Wouldn’t be surprised if a LB or OL ends up as a pick.

People wiser than me can project our possible selections.

Packers needs on Day 2 of the draft - Best available

Packers fill the need at WR, I think Golden is a little diminutive in stature. I don't like that he isn't a polished route runner, but in LaFluer's offense they can find ways to get him the ball. I don't hate the pick, but don't love it either. Packers will look to build off the first round by looking to draft a defensive tackle, a cornerback, an edge rusher, and offensive line. They are in a position that they can really take a long hard look at the best player available within reason. If there is an outlier sitting there the Packers could snatch them up for the future.

Defensive tackles still available
TJ Sanders South Carolina - I think he would be drafted as Kenny Clark's replacement. More of a 3 tech. Good all around defensive tackle

Darius Alexander Toledo - I think there is a lot of upside with him, but I think it is going to take a while for the production to come.

Omarr Norman-Lott - I have liked him since February. His RAS score isn't over the moon, and his body needs a little work, but he gets off the damn snap and is more of a penetrator.

Josh Farmer FSU - Similar to Alexander and Sanders, might not be as athletic as Sanders but there isn't a lot to dislike.

Alfred Collins Texas - A+ in stopping the run, but has very little in rushing the passer from a 2i or nose position.

Ty Robinson Nebraska - Great RAS score, like the height and the reach but weighs under 290 pounds. More of a development guy until he bulks up.

Cornerback

Will Johnson Michigan - I think a lot of teams crossed him off their list as a first round player because of a knee surgery a few years back. My guess is he had meniscus surgery and doesn't have very much remaining, which means possible chronic knee problems.

Shavon Revel Jr East Carolina - Knee injury ended his season, small school guy that teams see the risk in the first round but the reward brings a lot of potential

Benjamin Morrison ND - Hip injury, overall he is a really good corner and if he recovers from the hip injury a team is going to get a really solid player.

Azareye'h Thomas FSU - I like him a lot, RAS score was just average, but he is a big physical corner that can play on the outside

Darien Porter Iowa St - Big and lanky but only started one year at Iowa State. Teams are probably wary on his production at the next level.

Nohl Williams Cal - Not a super athletic corner but is feisty and aggressive.

Jacob Parrish K-St - Under 5'10". He can run and play aggressive football.


Edge

Mike Green Marshall - I think teams are scared away by his production at a small school. He was on fire at the Senior Bowl and some had him mocked in the top 15.

Donovan Ezeiruaku Boston College - I thought he could sneak into the 1st round but I thought he was a solid day 2 second round guy.

Jordon Burch Oregon - 6'3" 280 pounds but doesn't have the longest arms. College production is there but he isn't a speed rusher, but does a decent job of defending the run

Landon Jackson Arkansas - Darling of the combine. Solid second round guy

Nic Scourton Texas A&M - I thought he would be a late first round pick. Doesn't have ideal height but he knows how to take down a QB.

JT Tuimoloau Ohio St - He isn't overly dynamic which is fine for a second round edge rusher that could average 5-6 sacks a year and set the edge in the run game. Tweener as he will have to gain weight as a defensive end, if he is stand up edge he should be fine.

Oluwafemi Oladejo UCLA - Huge potential as he played only one year as an edge.

Bradyn Swinson LSU - I like him a lot has the reach you want with the quickness of a true pass rusher.

OLINE - There are some tackles left but the real value for the Packers will be how flexible they are with moving around to different spots along the offensive line.

Aireontae Ersery Minnesota - Some lists already have him at guard in the NFL. Great size obviously lacks something at tackle to where teams would want to move him inside. He is a solid second round guy

Jonah Savaiinaea Arizona - Same as said for Ersery can be said for Savalinaea.

Tate Ratledge Georgia - He has played a lot of ball for the Bulldogs but mostly at guard.

Marcus Mbow Purdue - Wisconsin kid, hell of a high school athlete. He might not have the reach and size to play tackle but his feet are pretty damn good.

Wyatt Milum West Virginia - He has the height to play tackle, but some teams are wondering if he is athletic enough to play tackle. Has a really high floor, but teams question his potential.

Jared Wilson Georgia - Only started for one season and left early for the draft. He is the best center in this draft by a long margin. Young kid at 21.

Charles Grant William & Mary - Small school kid who really did well at the Senior Bowl. Former wrestler that teams thought was more athletic on film than what his RAS spelled out. Flexibility will be the key with him, late second rounder to 3rd round potential.

Ozzy Trapilo Boston College - Mammoth offensive tackle, I liked his film. He could be a second rounder or 3rd rounder.

Interesting. Mocks and rankings really don't mean much, but I was surprised the Packers went offensive line this early. Maybe they don't want to pay their tackles, I feel like this has a lot to say about the progress of Morgan. Anthony Belton, who I admit I accidentally left him off the list of best available above. I like his size and feet, he is a good player that will have the ability to contribute at 4 different positions. Sean Ryann is also a free agent in 2026?

Packers have needs on the defensive side of the ball. I don't rank these players for the Packers but I thought there was enough at Corner and DT for them to take one in the second round. They better score a lot of points in 2025 because right now their defense isn't getting in better, not that Gute has a great history drafting defensive players.

Going to say it again. Jordan Morgan just didn't impress at all in training camp last year. They wanted him to replace Rasheed Wallace and he didn't even look good enough for GB to give him a try there. Drafting this dude speaks volumes.

They undoubtedly do NOT want to pay Rasheed Wallace as a starting LT. And they don't have enough faith in Jordan to replace him.

GOSH did you see the Lions just gave up a 4th to trade up a few spots. This pick was ideal to trade down if going this route IMO

You’re right. They don’t want to pay Wallace big dollars for very average work. Replace him with better.
Investing in your O line is always a good idea.
I don’t think they have given up on Morgan at all. They just want a better O line.
We still need replacements on defense.

Not going to lie, I am pretty disappointed in the Packers second round pick. I hate being that guy that questions picks because I simply don't know what these well paid front office guys know, but there was a lot of potential defensive help left in round two. Nothing personal against Anthony Belton, but the Packers invested a lot with Morgan last year. I thought Morgan was a reach for a first rounder and nothing has changed after his rookie year to make me think otherwise.

I would have taken Trey Amos or Mike Green. The Packers should have ran to the podium to take either of those two guys.

It's about the playoffs. And I agree. GB can't compete with the big boys in the playoffs. It's been a problem for a while. I'm glad they are addressing it. Don't think we'll get back to the SB without it.... Defense wasn't the problem against Phili.

I don't disagree with that statement, the defense was simply just solid last year. They certainly didn't win any football games last year, and when they had to get a stop against the Eagles to get the ball back to the offense they couldn't.

Obviously this is a pretty historic free fall for an athlete that at the moment of this post has not had any criminal or civil issues. Sanders fall from grace is damn near an NFL blackball job. Kiper is desperate to call it what it is, the NFL is locking the gates to Sanders in this draft. My assumption is that Sanders at this point might be calling all teams telling them not to draft him and that he will sign somewhere as a free agent.

Williams is more of a RB/WR hybrid. Watson is a WR with top end speed and size. I don't see them as the same.

Watson had a stretch early where he was looking like he might put it all together. Since then he was injured or between injuries.

Look at how he utilized Reed. We'll see.

Year 1 Watson looked like he was destined for a hybrid role that would include some carries one way or another. He had a couple TDs and 80 yards on seven carries in a restricted role. Year 2 was sort of lost, but last year he was mostly healthy all year until the knee, yet GB couldn't seem to find a way to involve him much at all.

Use of Reed? Kind of "meh" in my opinion.

I'm not sure LaF is the creative offensive genius we hoped for. I look at Watson and even Kraft seemingly forgotten at times, and Wickes getting more attention than he earned. Sometimes there doesn't seem to be a plan....

I disagree on Watson. He had some end around early on, but that's not a hybrid role. He never lined up in the back field. He never ran wildcat. Watson didn't look the same last year. I don't think it was just play calls and schemes.

He got a lot out of Reed up until this year.

I agree MLF isn't perfect, but he game planned well for Malik Willis as another example. I think they want to lean on the run even more next year. Somewhat ironically picking up the two WRs actually makes sense in that context. They need someone to take advantage of loaded boxes and man coverage. They can use a hybrid player to run or pass depending on what the defense shows, and keep them off balance.

You might be right, maybe MLF won't use him well. Ultimately it's up to the player to make plays and Williams may just not be very good. If he's good though, I have confidence they'll get him the ball in many different situations.

Williams is a YAC player. Kraft is the only one we got. I was always concerned whenever Reed or Watson took a sweep. That is not a concern with Williams. I see the thinking here. They are trying to get bigger/tougher.

Hope so, but I have read a lot of the exact opposite about him, that he plays without a nasty streak or the fire needed to be the physically dominant player his size could make him. One scout said he plays like the kid who while growing up was much bigger than all his friends and was constantly admonished to be careful to not hurt any of them. He said that is something you can't coach out of players as adults.

Taking Belton I can sorta see, I thought there were a lot of good players on D they could have taken instead. Rasheed Walker is gone after this year. I don't know what the plan is for Morgan though. Train him to be all over backup and get Belton up to speed at backup swing tackle and eventually be LT/ Move him to RT and move Tom over? Day 1/2 picks need to play early to pay off for teams, generally. Other interesting thing: GB's definitely changing their OL to be bigger. Belton is much heavier than what they go for. Seems like with Jacobs and abigger OL they are moving away from zone or at least outside zone to more power/gap stuff.

Do not like Savion Williams in R3 considering who else was there. Dude is a super athlete -- he's basically Corderelle Patterson 2.0 -- but he has atrocious hands and is raw as sushi. Cue the old J-Mike jokes about dropping his keys in the parking lot.

Gotta say, not loviing this draft, my hopes for it to change are dwindling. Then again, I'm a fan and not a personnel pro... I sure hope Gute knows what he's doing, because I don't see how they've improved their pass rush or defense in general yet.

I think Wallace is an average at best OT but he'll get paid..just not be GB. If Morgan showed more we would not have signed Banks "and" drafted this guy

I disagree 100% for multiple reasons. Last season I said out OL was weak. Walker is below average for starting LT, Myers was a tire fire for starting C and Rhyan was finally showing life, but not enough to make you confident he was the future.

Morgan was injured early and then again. They tried to put him at a spot he NEVER played in his life on a side he NEVER played in his life. I think they recognize that trying to force it because they didn't have faith in Rhyan was a mistake.

OL is the heart of any offense (ask the Lions if you don't believe me). We are stacking talent. I like the Belton pick AND the Banks signing. Not so crazy about drafting Jaire 2.0 to be our alpha WR. He has talent, but he is also a bit of an egomaniac.

Here is what is happening. We are getting bigger and stronger. Belton probably plays RG immediately or at least rotates. Morgan goes back to LT where he belongs....maybe this year, maybe next.

Packers want the tush push outlawed, but didn't have the votes so we are going big and strong. I expect a lot of sneaky cheese packages this year. Add in that we drafted a 6'4" 222 lb. wildcat and I'm near positive this offense will be different than last season. We ran the ball last year, but I think MiLF intends to impose his will on teams this year (the Golden pick is even more weird to me in light of everything else).

Again, I always inclue what I would have done, so instead of Golden/Belton, I'd probably have drafted Simmons/Bech. Just my 2 cents, but I like the direction things are heading. I'm also baffled at our lack of CBs. By drafting a WR in the 1st we seem to be saying we like our CB room better than our WR room (especially when you doubled down). I'm fine with our edge room to be honest. I like a lot of the guys and I think its reasonable to expect some bounceback from Gary and improvement from Van Ness. And the rest of the room isn't too shabby for rounding the position out.

DT is pretty deep in this draft and there are still some nice players left. I expect 2 today. I'll chime in more later, but I'm outta time.

Not going to lie, I am pretty disappointed in the Packers second round pick. I hate being that guy that questions picks because I simply don't know what these well paid front office guys know, but there was a lot of potential defensive help left in round two. Nothing personal against Anthony Belton, but the Packers invested a lot with Morgan last year. I thought Morgan was a reach for a first rounder and nothing has changed after his rookie year to make me think otherwise.

I would have taken Trey Amos or Mike Green. The Packers should have ran to the podium to take either of those two guys.

Agree on Green 100%. I said I don't think we need edge, but I also think he was a steal at that point.

Obviously this is a pretty historic free fall for an athlete that at the moment of this post has not had any criminal or civil issues. Sanders fall from grace is damn near an NFL blackball job. Kiper is desperate to call it what it is, the NFL is locking the gates to Sanders in this draft. My assumption is that Sanders at this point might be calling all teams telling them not to draft him and that he will sign somewhere as a free agent.

Well, I said that Sanders was a 3rd round talent a few times. Apparently I was overestimating it. Given the profile and attitude the 3rd talent becomes draftable around the 5th.

It seems to me with the addition of Jacobs, the new FA guard from SF, the bulky OT in round 2, and the screen/gadget WR in round 3, the Packers are committed to winning at the LOS and improving the run game. Reminds me of the SF offenses of the past and should make Love's job easier.

Got in the draft theater for free. We’re right on the gate. Pretty cool.

Who’s our guess at pick coming up?

As I think about it, I wonder if they are going to put Morgan at LT and Belton at RG eventually. He's tall for a G, but boy is he big and physical.

The WR pick still is a head scratcher. Roylas and Ayomanor were still on the board.


Mike Green has major character flags, as apparently Swinson (?)

Not sure if there's a Day 3 thread, but Barryn Sorrell gets a lot of love from scouts. Good agility, really strong and smart, lacking in pass-rush polish and has short arms. Probably a Kingsley replacement, but he's competition for Aaron Mosby and Brenton Cox Jr.
Not a bad pick, they needed to do something lol

Nice. You can walk up to the front where sombrero Packer is?

It’s gonna be a LBer.

Gute has been doing well the last few years. 4 good drafts in a row is very rare. Cant imagine we wouldn’t be an elite team in the heels of that.

I’m okay with our draft.
Hit on a few draft picks and maybe a couple UDFA’s and this team will be better.
I like that they’re not afraid to challenge players on the roster.

Dude. We ended up getting selected and sat front row for 6/7th rounds and the concert after.

Got a selfie w/ one of the female hosts, met Scott Hanson (nfl red zone). Had no expectations but it was really well done and pretty fun. Fans of all teams were great and I’m sure I was on TV a lot (heavily booing all of the Bears picks).

very good draft. Nice job working the board and the strength of the draft. A couple interesting fliers on Oliver and Willams. The rest were solid picks addressing the biggest needs having just gone 1-5 in the division. One of my favorite drafts in the Gute era.


Also, the last few years is showing a pattern of seeking out cbs in later rounds/UDFA: a lot more effort to return to the Tramon Williams/Sam Shields era.

That was my impression immediately after the pick. As I've said, pack can't get the tush push outlawed so they sign one of the biggest mauler guards in the league and draft a guy like him in the 2nd. Then they add a wildcat guy who can squat 600 with an insane burst. We have options. Imagine Kraft in motion with Savion in backfield. Kraft stops under center to take a snap with Savion pushing from behind. Do it on 2nd and 6, I don't care. NFL wants rugby lets give them rugby. The off season moves and draft lead me to believe we will be the most physical offense in the league.
