The scene is almost complete outside the Field Lambeau.
The draft of the NFL is almost there, with the first round at exactly a week.
Instead of speculation, we will soon have answers to the biggest questions faced by Green Bay packers. How will they meet needs?
The sampling visits are completed. Packers have brought six receivers, including three potential first round choices. Several passers, including three first -round perspectives and line editors on both sides of the ball have also visited Lambeau Field.
Use of the professional football network simulatorHere is a last seven -round packer simulation project, starting with the player Dane Brugler made fun of Green Bay This week as part of his Mock for athletics.
Round 1, Pick 23: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Earlier this offseason, we made a false draft indicating that we did not know if Will Johnson would really be available at n ° 23. It may not be, but the possibility seems to increase.
Johnson recently had private training for NFL teams interested in his services. Johnson did agility exercises, but not in particular run by 40 yards. Johnson has entered the process project with questions about his long speed. This question remains.
Johnson would be best suited to a defense in which his eyes are on the quarter. Matt Lafleur and Jeff Hafley said their defense was based on vision. Their desire is to play Cover-3, which would allow Johnson to keep his eyes on the quarter-tree and to show his capacities of ball reporting.
Limited to six injury games, Johnson intercepted two passes in his last season in Michigan and returned for both for touch. He had three choices of six choices in his career. It is not only good when the ball is in the air, once it has made a game on it, it has a nose for the goals area.
Perhaps Brian Gotekunst would hide due to the absence of a complete athletic profile, but the prospect of taking a player who was considered a choice among the first 10 at the start of the process was too good to pass.
Round 2, Pick 54: Tyleik Williams, DL, Ohio State
Tyleik Williams is a great man to help fill a big void in the middle of the defense of Green Bay.
Packers found a new commitment to stop the race last season. Their best dilapidated defensive line player, TJ Slaton, signed with the Bengals in a free agency.
Williams could be his replacement. Packers welcomed Williams during a direct debit visitAnd it is a type of body that they do not have their defensive line. Apart from Kenny Clark, Green Bay’s defensive line players are the best suited as Pass penetrators and rushers rather than managing stuffers.
Williams has room to grow as rusher of pass, but it is not only a plush. However, it would be an instant anchor for the defense of Green Bay’s race, which would be his best way to contribute as a recruit.
Round 3, Pick 87: Jack Bech, WR, TCU
Jack Bech is the first of the two ultra-productive receivers selected in the middle towers.
At 6 feet 1 inch and 214 pounds, bech with strong hands and is a good runner. Perhaps even more important, it should be able to contribute as a recruit. He exploded significantly in 2024, passing during the 1000 yards mark and winning a trip to the senior Bowl, where he caught the winning touch pass and won the MVP honors in the game.
As a recruit, Bech has an immediate path to playing time due to the injury of Christian Watson and the inconsistencies of Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed.
Round 4, Pick 123: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
Tai Felton also had a season in small groups in Maryland, with 96 receptions for 1,124 yards. With 4.37 speed and a vertical of 39 1/2 inch, it is a bizarre athlete that was incredibly productive. Packers brought him for a visit.
Felton has the speed element that Green Bay seeks to inject into his reception body. Christian Watson will not be on the ground in November, at the earliest, due to a torn LCA. This leaves packers without a real threat of speed to the receiver.
Felton played on the border and in the slit of Maryland. He would compete with Bech and the veterans back for playing time.
Round 5, choose 160: Elijah Roberts, DL, SMU
Elijah Roberts is the first real rusher of passes taken in this class, although there are questions as to the place where he aligns when he arrives at the NFL. Perhaps the packers would start on the edge, where he played SMU, before allowing him to get started in certain sub-package sets.
Roberts has the versatility to do so, similar to Karl Brooks, an on -board player at Bowling Green before being selected by packers during the sixth round in 2023.
Roberts came to Green Bay earlier this week during a direct debit visitAnd the packers have shown a propensity to love the set of skills he has. Frankly, it is a flight at this stage of the draft.
Round 6, Pick 200: Jason Marshall Jr., CB, Florida
Jason Marshall Jr. had a project visitAlso. He started 39 games in Florida before missing the last six games of his senior season with a shoulder injury.
Marshall could compete on the border and in the slit. The Packers’ half -corner room is doing for the moment and they hope to gain clarity with the project. Marshall could help accomplish this.
Round 7 Pick 239: Jacob Bayer, C, Arkansas State
Remember how a story was when Rashan Gary came back from his torn ACL in just nine months? It was. Gary deserves a ton of credit for his return as quickly as him.
Bayer beat him and, therefore, could be the best story of this project class.
Bayer torn his ACL on March 30. He crossed his recovery chronology with packers on if. In just over five months, he went to tear an ACL in spring training to start and play each snapshot.
“Basically, I asked if it could be done in terms of I could come back at one point of the season,” he said, “and they said:” Adrian Peterson returned in six months. “So I set myself as a goal and we pushed everything a month.
This tenacity and these intangible assets could very well play as a choice of seventh lap and an addition to the rear half of the offensive line.
Round 7, Pick 251: Seth Henigan, Qb, Memphis
Sean Clifford could use a certain competition for the third quarter of a quarter position, and packers are probably looking for a long-term option to be the safeguard of Jordan Love because Malik Willis is a waiting agent on waiting after the 2025 season and could be in demand.
Henigan has tools that deserve to be developed and may not require the use of a list point. This is a position that packers could seek to approach the draft earlier, despite the fact that the player is probably not a factor in 2026.
What worked?
The corner of the corner Will Johnson and the defensive platform Tyleik Williams were considered first -round prospects at the start of the process project. Johnson, in particular, was someone who would never be available for packers without an important exchange.
If it is available, Johnson would be a transparent transition to the defense of Green Bay and would be put in a position to make big games as a recruit. Williams would also be a flight to the choice of Green Bay in the second round.
The Jack Bech and Tai Felton receptors are two productive receivers that should give packers a cushion if they lose one of their free agency receptors the next two seasons.
What didn’t work?
The Jacob Bayer center is a big story, but Gutekunst would probably prefer to choose an offensive line player earlier than the seventh round.
The same goes for the Pass Rush group. Tyleik Williams has a chance to add a little punch to the interior defensive line, but there were no real on -board rushers in this class. Elijah Roberts could be considered a twener.
If the project took place like that, it would be difficult to bake too much, but there would be even more pressure on young rushers like Lukas Van Ness and Brenton Cox to contribute in 2025.
