It’s been an interesting offseason for the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Matt LaFleur fortified the offensive line by signing Aaron Banks in free agency to a lucrative $77 million contract to secure the left guard position. The Packers will now enter the 2025 NFL Draft looking to address their additional needs.
Wide receiver and cornerback are among the requirements. The Packers are equipped with eight selections. We've conducted a seven-round mock draft that supplements their offseason movements.
Round 1 (No. 23 overall): Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
Jaire Alexander is no longer a shutdown cornerback. Recurring injuries have unfortunately derailed his career. The Packers have placed Alexander on the trading block, and it's difficult to envision him returning to the team in 2025. Cornerback is Green Bay's biggest need. East Carolina corner Shavon Revel Jr. is ahead of schedule in his recovery from an ACL injury. Revel Jr. is long, athletic, and fiery. If healthy, he's an instant starter.
Round 2 (No. 54 overall): Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
The Packers were linked to acquiring a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver via trade or free agency, but the right opportunity never arrived. General manager Brian Gutekunst must address the position via the draft. Iowa State's Jayden Higgins checks Gutenkunst's size and athletic boxes. The 6-foot-4, 214-pound Higgins ran a 4.47 at the NFL Combine and leaped a 39-inch vertical and a 10-foot-8 broad jump. He'd be a like-for-like replacement for the oft-injured Christian Watson.
Round 3 (No. 87 overall): Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan
Depth behind Rashan Gary and Lukas Van Ness at EDGE is a slight need. The Packers have always loved big-school prospects at the position. Josaiah Stewart was productive at Michigan with a 27.3% pass-rush win rate. Stewart recorded 8.5 sacks for the Wolverines in 2024 by pairing explosiveness with tenacity.
Round 4 (No. 124 overall): Jalen Travis, OL, Iowa State
The Packers are still sorting through whether last year's first-round pick Jordan Morgan is a tackle or guard. Depth could be added across the entire offensive line once that decision is settled. Jalen Travis is a mammoth tackle prospect with near-35-inch arms. Travis' elite size leads to natural power as a blocker.
Round 5 (No. 159 overall): Zy Alexander, CB, LSU
Cornerback is in a dire enough state to warrant doubling down. LSU’s Zy Alexander is tall and long at 6-foot-1 with ideal size at boundary corner. Alexander utilized ball skills to record 13 career interceptions.
Round 6 (No. 198 overall): Chandler Martin, LB, Memphis
Competition should be added at linebacker. Isaiah McDuffie shouldn't be an unquestioned starter. Memphis' Chandler Martin is among the draft's most underrated players at his position. Had Martin been invited to the NFL Combine, he would've posted the best three-cone (6.85) and shuttle times (4.22) of any linebacker.
Round 7 (No. 237 overall): Kyonte Hamilton, DT, Rutgers
Rutgers defensive tackle Kyonte Hamilton is another underrated prospect. Hamilton posted four sacks and five tackles for loss this past campaign. At Pro Day, he ran in the 4.9s at an explosive 6-foot-3 and 305 pounds.
Round 7 (No. 250 overall): Marcus Wehr, IOL, Montana State
Montana State interior offensive lineman Marcus Wehr was an East-West Shrine standout. Wehr would compete for a roster spot with Kadeem Telfort and Jacob Monk.
