The Packers are likely to take a best-player-available approach early in the draft. Logically, though, they’ll target defense in the opening round. Green Bay just used a first-round pick on a tackle, and the 2025 draft class isn’t particularly impressive at center.
Fortunately, the 2025 class has some impressive prospects at cornerback. While Stokes didn’t quite work out as Jaire Alexander’s full-time running back, a rookie like Notre Dame’s Benjamin Morrison might.
Morrison was the pick for Green Bay in the Bleacher Report Scouting Department’s post-regular season mock draft.
“Morrison’s skills and versatility are an ideal fit for the Packers, who have been decimated by injuries in their cornerback group over the past few seasons,” Cory Giddings of the B/R Scouting Department said. “…His ball skills and ability to maintain tight coverage on receivers would allow him to make an immediate impact, particularly in the NFC North where physical, fast receivers dominate.”
The middle rounds are also a realistic target area for a center prospect like Ohio State’s Seth McLaughlin or Texas’ Jake Majors.
While the Packers have a strong group of skill players, they could consider adding a young playmaker like Clemson running back Phil Mafah or Miami receiver Xavier Restrepo to the mix. That decision could depend on whether Green Bay retains restricted free agents Bo Melton and Emmanuel Wilson.
In all, the Packers are scheduled to have seven picks in the 2025 draft, one in each round.
