Official 2025 Draft Thread

Agreed - When I was watching the Senior Bowl, I kept thinking this the type of WR that the Packers usually draft. Ole TT (Rest in Peace) would be drafting him for the Pack.

Would TT pick him if he doesn't have pretty blonde hair?

That can be fixed with a quick stop at an decent hair salon.

I don't know the Packers need a clear number #1 WR. If the do get one, that would great. If not, they can't have starters playing like backups.

Maybe their starters would and should be backups for most teams

I'm getting the feeling that if Gute doesn't take a CB at 23, it might be a while before there will be value at picking a CB. Unless he trades up in the 2nd round.

My 5 round PFN Packer mock draft. TRaded down in 3rd round and picked up an extra 4th. This is quite possibly the last year of Kenny Clark with the Packers and that is probably an underrated factor on what the Packers will do in the draft. He has an $11 million roster bonus due 3rd day of the 2026 league year and Packers would save over 14 million by releasing him.

23. Tyleik Williams DT Ohio State
54. Grey Zabel OT North Dakota State
96. Jared Ivey EDGE Ole Miss
123. Cobee Bryant CB Kansas
129. Tyler Baron EDGE Miami (FL)
160. Mello Dotson CB Kansas

I agree they need one and very possibly two DT's. TJ Slaton will likely be gone - he's a one-dimensional guy whose best dimension - run stopping - is not enough to warrant a shiny new contract. As you say, this might be Kenny Clark's last year. And while Karl Brooks flashes occasionally, Colby Wooden is really sub-par and could be replaced. Should be. So at least one, maybe two.

Given a choice between a cornerback and a pass rusher early on (as in, say, round one, maybe two), I'd take the pass rusher.

IF the Packers can re-acquire Davante Adams (at this point I think it's possible the Jest release him), then they could take a flyer later in the draft on one of the few Christian Watson-type long threats. If not, I'd imagine they would choose a WR sooner. Contract years are coming up for Romeo "Scrambled Egghead" Doubs and Christian "Fra-gee-lay" Watson, so they'll need bodies. And shouldn't Malik Heath and Bo Melton be challenged next spring anyway?

I am always frustrated with the Packers and their defensive line. They never seem to put it all together. Kenny Clark is still a very good player, but by 2026 I could certainly see the Packers going a different direction. I think it would make sense to look to add to the room before Clark is gone. The young talent has shown up in spots, but I would think you would want more consistency in all three downs from Wyatt. I don't see the Packers doing much in terms of trading up in the 1st round so it will be something like best player available either on the defensive line or cornerback. Packers had to address Safety and Linebacker in the second last year, and they really hit home runs with Cooper and Bullard. I will still say Cooper DeJean offered a little more flexibility than Bullard, not sure if they could have gotten both Cooper and DeJean though.

DT in 2025 That I really like with round possibilities
Walter Nolen DL: I think he offers some position versatility. Not sure if he will be available in the first round when the Packers pick
Kenneth Grant DT: Big body, with elite athleticism from Michigan. I think he will be an early second round guy.
Shemar Stewart DE: Crazy low stats, but disruptive film. Again, not sure if he will be available for the Packers in the first round
Mike Green Edge: A bit undersized but he lit up the Senior Bowl. Interesting school in Marshall. Could possibly be available for the Packers in round 1
Landon Jackson: Big defensive end from Arkansas. He could possibly be available in the second round for the Packers
Nic Scourton: Similar build to Stewart. Comes from A&M. Maybe available in the second round
Derrick Harmon: disruptive force in the middle for the Ducks, Big guy at 6'5" 310 pounds, worried about pad level. Middle of the second round
James Pierce: Freak athlete off the edge but lack of production in 2024 could be an issue and could drop him to the Packers in Round 1
Tyleik Williams DT: At 327 pounds he was disruptive for the Ohio St. Again Ohio St had the ability to get after the QB with four rushers and he was a big part of that. Probably a late round 1 guy, maybe he could drop to the second but don't know if he will drop to the Packers
TJ Sanders: South Carolina kid, like his upside with prototypical size. solid 2nd round guy
Darius Alexander: Toledo guy and he is a big sleeper of mine. Lots of sites have him ranked lower, but to me he could be a crazy pick in the second round.

Good work as always, Nutzy.

One position I'm curious about is left tackle. I wonder how much the organization likes Rasheed Walker. For a seventh-rounder he was a steal and a good pick, but just as your left tackle he seems just kinda okay. I am not an expert at all, but he seems to get pushed back a lot - a lot - into Love's lap. Not sure about his run blocking, or about how much upside is left and how much improvement is left.

I feel there is better value in the second round than in the 1st round on corners. That's just me though. I feel like two out of the top 5 guys are both coming over season ending injuries.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Kenny Clark is still a good player? Yeah, so is Cletidus Hunt, and dude’s almost 50.

Dean Lowry can do what Clark does…for lot less frogskins. Cut Cletidus!

I think he is a below average starter in the NFL. Decent in the run game, but he can get put on roller skates in pass pro. It's hard to know what the Packers are going to do on the offensive line. With Morgan coming off injured reserve and being slotted at guard makes me wonder if they will choose to upgrade the tackle position and keep Morgan at one of the two guard positions and possibly replace Walker and/or move Zach Tom to center. My best guess is they will try to find the best value on the board. The center position in the draft is sort of awful. There are some high end guards, but not to much in between. I don't agree with Tex on much, but both of us don't agree on using top end draft picks on offensive linemen.

Just keep following the box scores and stat lines.....

Will Anderson said Tom’s the best OT he has ever faced. You wanna move a stud tackle to center?

That Moon guy should be fine and dandy at snapping the rock, I reckon.

Believe it or not, I actually do watch the games. Last season, Packers had absolutely zero pass rush threat from the interior and opponents ran up the guts like knife through butter.

They’re paying Cletidius a shit load of frogskins to roam the interior, ain’t they? Clark made a play every blue moon.

Cut Clark and use the money saved on Crosby, Garrett or even Joey Bosa.
