The start of the 2026 NFL draft is almost here for the Green Bay Packers and the 31 other NFL teams. Soon, the page will turn on mock drafts for the 2026 cycle. Why not four more Packers-specific mock before the festivities begin on Thursday night from Pittsburgh?
Each member of the staff at Packers Wire went through PFF’s mock draft simulator and did a 7-round mock for the Packers. Here are the individual results:
Zach Kruse
Trading back from 52 netted a late third-round pick and did not prevent us from getting Dani Dennis-Sutton, who checks all the boxes for the Packers and will make sure the cupboard is full at edge rusher. There isn’t a pressing need at receiver, but De’Zhaun Stribling is too good of a player and too good of a fit for Matt LaFleur to pass up at 84. Not everyone is sold on Kaleb Proctor, but he has big-time juice and big-time upside as an interior disruptor. Waiting until the fourth round for a corner might be a risk, but there should be plenty of Packers types available between the third and fifth rounds. Will Lee III is an easy fit. If there’s a mid-round backup quarterback worth investing in from this class, it might be Taylen Green, who has all the physical traits required but needs development in the right situation. Sound familiar? I can’t stop taking Kaelon Black in the fifth round because he’s a well-rounded football player and fits a short-term and long-term need at running back. Don’t sleep on Logan Taylor, who has played four different positions and was an excellent pre-draft tester. Love the fit as a developmental backup with versatility. McCutchin is a box-checker for the Packers in terms of height/weight/speed at corner and well worth a seventh-round dart throw. No Packers mock draft would be complete without Jaden Dugger — a freak athlete and pre-draft visitor — in the seventh round.
Brandon Carwile
Without a first-round pick this year, there’s added pressure for the Packers to hit on their Day 2 selections. Fortunately, I felt like I secured a pair of prospects who help fortify areas of need and possess a ton of upside. A two-year starter at Georgia, Miller is a three-down defensive tackle who could eventually fill the void left behind by Kenny Clark. Green Bay’s cornerback room needs help after a turbulent 2025 season, and Muhammad is a smooth athlete who can play on an island. We know the Packers prioritize positional flexibility in the trenches, and Parker II fits that mold as a prospect who primarily played tackle in college but could excel as an interior lineman at the next level. Demmings turned heads with his performance at the scouting combine and was brought in by Green Bay for a top-30 visit. Gumbs has a high ceiling and is lauded for his work ethic. After recording an official 4.39 in the 40-yard dash, Douglas is your prototypical Packers wide receiver prospect at 6-3, 206 pounds. Sorey is another guy with outstanding traits at linebacker who can contribute on special teams right away. Lastly, Cruz’s elite athleticism and inside-out versatility make him an obvious fit in Green Bay.
Mark Oldacres
Trading back and still getting the nose tackle the Packers need in ‘Big Citrus’ would be an ideal scenario. An extra pick on the Round 3/4 border would allow them to take a shot on the potential upside of a rare athlete like Barham, then still get a talented corner from a deep class later on. Zuhn is the classic versatile Green Bay O-lineman and could pay huge dividends down the road.
Brennen Rupp
Starting off a draft with Hunter, Neal and Zuhn would be a slam dunk. Hunter is the type of player who could step in and be an early contributor as part of the defensive tackle rotation. He may not be the type of athlete the Packers typically covert early, but ESPN’s Jordan Reid has often compared him to Pat Williams. You take a player who can control the line of scrimmage at 52. Neal could challenge for playing time on the boundary as a rookie and could become a full-time starter in Year 2. Zuhn could be the starting center before the end of the season and offers five-position versatility. Boerkircher is a hired gun on special teams and would be a good TE3 as a rookie and could be Tucker Kraft’s long-term running mate. Sapp is a powerful edge rusher and would provide quality depth. Cruz is your swing tackle and could even kick inside to guard.
