  20.  &lt;p&gt;DE Mykel Williams and QB Jaxson Dart are no longer on the list for Green Bay&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="daoEKX"&gt;The NFL’s list of prospects attending the 2025 &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt; is more fluid this year than it has been in the past. Usually, when the NFL announces the list of attendees, it’s locked in and final.&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p id="dGGusL"&gt;Earlier this week, &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/4/14/24408519/2025-nfl-draft-attendees-news-green-bay-travis-hunter-shedeur-sanders"&gt;the NFL published a list of 17 players who will be at the event&lt;/a&gt;. Since then, it has been reported that &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/4/16/24409642/nfl-draft-2025-news-update-attendees-kentucky-cornerback-maxwell-hairston"&gt;Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston was added&lt;/a&gt; to the list of players accepting the trip to Green Bay.&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p id="H8NWA2"&gt;In a recent update, the NFL has confirmed the addition of Hairston, but &lt;a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1913266254082982243"&gt;two other players have been left off of their list of attendees&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;a href="https://www.redcuprebellion.com"&gt;Ole Miss&lt;/a&gt; quarterback Jaxson Dart and Georgia defensive end Mykel Williams. Apparently, Dart and Williams had a change of heart.&lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p id="NhGKtR"&gt;Below is the updated list of players who are expected to travel to Green Bay for the event:&lt;/p&gt;
  24. &lt;ul&gt;
  25. &lt;li id="0aSbAc"&gt;Cam Ward, QB, Miami (&lt;a href="https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/big-boards/2025/consensus-big-board-2025"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#1 on consensus board&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
  26. &lt;li id="cyNOZk"&gt;Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State (#2)&lt;/li&gt;
  27. &lt;li id="v2vXp5"&gt;Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado (#3)&lt;/li&gt;
  28. &lt;li id="bppIhm"&gt;Mason Graham, iDL, Michigan (#5)&lt;/li&gt;
  29. &lt;li id="H0lla3"&gt;Will Campbell, OL, &lt;a href="https://www.andthevalleyshook.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LSU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (#6)&lt;/li&gt;
  30. &lt;li id="rdlzNY"&gt;Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State (#7)&lt;/li&gt;
  31. &lt;li id="xOCizZ"&gt;Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona (#11)&lt;/li&gt;
  32. &lt;li id="hlGgVc"&gt;Will Johnson, CB, Michigan (#12)&lt;/li&gt;
  33. &lt;li id="98w7fg"&gt;Shemar Stewart, EDGE, &lt;a href="https://www.goodbullhunting.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Texas A&amp;amp;M&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (#16)&lt;/li&gt;
  34. &lt;li id="jz3YG3"&gt;Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama (#19)&lt;/li&gt;
  35. &lt;li id="4oMyFt"&gt;Matthew Golden, WR, Texas (#20)&lt;/li&gt;
  36. &lt;li id="Veu0E3"&gt;Malaki Starks, S, Georgia (#21)&lt;/li&gt;
  37. &lt;li id="CNWhTN"&gt;Josh Simmons, OL, &lt;a href="https://www.landgrantholyland.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ohio State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (#24)&lt;/li&gt;
  38. &lt;li id="HFjufM"&gt;Tyler Booker, OL, Alabama (#30)&lt;/li&gt;
  39. &lt;li id="Qpepcm"&gt;Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky (#36)&lt;/li&gt;
  40. &lt;li id="eQUaE7"&gt;Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama (#41)&lt;/li&gt;
  41. &lt;/ul&gt;
  42. &lt;p id="boMKr7"&gt;Top 20 prospects who won’t be going to the draft this year are listed below:&lt;/p&gt;
  43. &lt;ul&gt;
  44. &lt;li id="PdnqkY"&gt;Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (#4)&lt;/li&gt;
  45. &lt;li id="qRCw0x"&gt;Armand Membou, OL, Missouri (#8)&lt;/li&gt;
  46. &lt;li id="GKqbom"&gt;Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State (#9)&lt;/li&gt;
  47. &lt;li id="Ntu3WS"&gt;Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia (#10)&lt;/li&gt;
  48. &lt;li id="xoRIAz"&gt;Kelvin Banks, OL, Texas (#13)&lt;/li&gt;
  49. &lt;li id="6DRZyO"&gt;Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas (#14)&lt;/li&gt;
  50. &lt;li id="rLOn2c"&gt;Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia (#15)&lt;/li&gt;
  51. &lt;li id="HYTiWQ"&gt;Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall (#17)&lt;/li&gt;
  52. &lt;li id="T6GNUT"&gt;Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan (#18)&lt;/li&gt;
  53. &lt;/ul&gt;
  54. &lt;p id="7h3A3Z"&gt;Hopefully, more players don’t drop out of attending. It was &lt;a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1894192498743955684"&gt;previously reported&lt;/a&gt; that the NFL only wanted 8-10 players at the event, but the draft day roster is at 16 players now after being at 17 initially.&lt;/p&gt;

  73.  
  74.  &lt;p&gt;Keep up with the names of all the players meeting with the Packers ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="CwTfAM"&gt;During Ted Thompson’s tenure as general manager of the &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/"&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/a&gt;, the team rarely brought high-level college prospects in for formal visits ahead of the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt;. Thompson’s approach was almost exclusively to bring in a few players projected near the top of the draft to evaluate character or injury questions, and then use the vast majority of their visits on late-round or likely undrafted prospects.&lt;/p&gt;
  75. &lt;p id="vWNsEW"&gt;Brian Gutekunst’s approach has differed somewhat, though the team still tends to use visits to evaluate character or injury red flags. The breakdown is much different though, with the team much more likely to use a top-30 visit on a top-100 player than under Thompson.&lt;/p&gt;
  76. &lt;p id="YUzdEn"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/3/19/24389543/green-bay-packers-pre-draft-visit-history-update-2024-2023-2022-classes"&gt;As our Justis Mosqueda discussed earlier this week,&lt;/a&gt; Gutekunst has also been no stranger to drafting players who came to Green Bay as part of the pre-draft process. Over the past three years, the team has drafted 13 players who came on formal visits and acquired several others as undrafted free agents or via other means.&lt;/p&gt;
  77. &lt;p id="NsOdKe"&gt;Now that the end of March is approaching and there are just five weeks until the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off in Green Bay, the team’s visits are starting to be reported. Stay up to date with the full list of reported visitors below.&lt;/p&gt;

  165.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  166.  
  167.  &lt;p&gt;Williams started at tackle for Cincinnati the last two seasons, but might be a pro guard. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="i9Bydh"&gt;If your first instinct when you heard that the &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/"&gt;Packers&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/4/9/24404831/green-bay-packers-pre-draft-visit-2025-nfl-draft-update-john-williams-anthony-belton-jason-marshall"&gt;had invited John Williams in for a pre-draft visit &lt;/a&gt;was to make a Star Wars joke, you’re not alone. Several of the more science fiction-oriented among us in the Acme Packing Company Slack had similar reactions.&lt;/p&gt;
  168. &lt;p id="QutL5M"&gt;I’m delighted to inform you, then, that Cincinnati’s John Williams, in addition to being an interesting offensive line prospect, is also an aerospace engineering major. Calling him “Star Wars” Williams would be entirely appropriate. He’s allowed to say “well, it’s not rocket science” about literally anything a pro team throws at him. He’d know.&lt;/p&gt;
  169. &lt;p id="Ei9VHj"&gt;Currently number 246 on the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-draft"&gt;NFL Mock Draft&lt;/a&gt; Database consensus big board, Williams looks like a day three prospect or undrafted free agent. But there are plenty of gems to find in that territory. Packers fans should know that better than most.&lt;/p&gt;
  170. &lt;p id="Z4MSUF"&gt;A two-year starter for Cincinnati, Williams hits the Packers’ thresholds with his 10-yard split in the 40-yard dash (1.79 seconds; typically the Packers want guys to run under 1.8) and with his short shuttle time (4.72 seconds against a historic threshold of 4.82). At 6-foot-4 and 322 pounds, Williams offers a nice blend of athleticism and size that could work at both guard or tackle, &lt;a href="https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/john-williams"&gt;though with arm length only in the 61st percentile for offensive linemen&lt;/a&gt;, he might be a better fit inside. He’s plenty strong, wherever he lines up. Though bench press isn’t the best indication of playing strength, 29 reps on the bench is nothing to sneeze at.&lt;/p&gt;
  171. &lt;p id="dNdKa8"&gt;Can he play, though? That’s where people are a little less certain. He’s the 25th-ranked offensive lineman in Dane Brugler’s “The Beast,” and his NFL.com scouting report &lt;a href="https://www.nfl.com/prospects/john-williams/32005749-4c37-3988-fe19-1fab722959ac"&gt;profiles him as a low-roster or practice squad candidate&lt;/a&gt;. Why? Most scouts are concerned about his hand use (“Prone to catching with those big mitts” says Brugler, while Lance Zerlein writes that his “Lethargic hands fail to pop and latch into targets) and aggression. And for someone with more prototypical guard size, he doesn’t have an interior offensive line background at all: in four seasons at Cincinnati, he never took a rep at any of the three interior line positions. &lt;/p&gt;
  172. &lt;p id="7yZN1X"&gt;Still, as far as developmental prospects go, Williams is an interesting ball of clay. Given the Packers propensity for developing linemen — especially college tackles that turn into pro guards — it’s probably worth keeping him on your radar as an undrafted free agent.&lt;/p&gt;
  173. &lt;p id="w3KiMq"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  192.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  193.  
  194.  &lt;p&gt;The Packers haven’t taken a receiver in the first round since 2002. Will McMillan change that?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="iATWui"&gt;It’s been 23 years since the &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/"&gt;Packers&lt;/a&gt; took a wide receiver in the first round of the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt;. Put differently, a prospect born the day the Packers last took a receiver in the first round would now be on the older end for players the Packers would consider. To recall another relic of the early 2000s, &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=araU0fZj6oQ"&gt;it’s been a while&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  195. &lt;p id="TfIjMa"&gt;But for a team that historically doesn’t take receivers among the first 32 picks, the Packers are doing an awful lot of work on receivers this spring. &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/4/16/24409970/packers-appear-likely-to-take-a-wide-receiver-in-this-years-draft-tory-horton-tet-mcmillan"&gt;Their visits point to the taking a wide receiver at some point this year&lt;/a&gt;, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them grab one early. &lt;/p&gt;
  196. &lt;p id="I6W6AC"&gt;And those visits include the best of the best at the position this year, namely Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan, a 6-foot-4, 219-pound stud with a penchant for contested catches and dominating the middle of the field.&lt;/p&gt;
  197. &lt;p id="Z3u0c6"&gt;McMillan ranks 11th on the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-draft"&gt;NFL Mock Draft&lt;/a&gt; Database consensus big board, but in a relatively poor wide receiver class, he’s climbed as high as fifth. A glance at what he brings to the table shows exactly why.&lt;/p&gt;
  198. &lt;p id="8cGC0z"&gt;Though he won’t blow anybody away with his speed (just a 4.54-second 40-yard dash), McMillan makes the most of what he’s got to bring in regular big plays. Raw receiving totals in college are extremely fungible, but it’s worth noting that even without exceptional speed, McMillan averaged more than 16 yards per catch for his career, including a 15.7 per catch average his final year as a Wildcat. For comparison, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, whose entire game can be summarized with the word “fast,” managed just 15.4 yards per reception in his college career.&lt;/p&gt;
  199. &lt;p id="4xxmmO"&gt;McMillan gets his work done roughly where you’d expect for a big man with good ball skills: in the middle of the field. He’s an enormous, physical target, and he’s willing to battle for the ball with whoever’s interested in fighting him.&lt;/p&gt;
  200. &lt;div id="6Haw8I"&gt;
  201. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"&gt;

  203. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  204. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  205.  
  206. &lt;/div&gt;
  207. &lt;p id="0aseMV"&gt;On the sideline, McMillan exhibits the exact kind of body control you’d like to see, deftly nabbing throws that smaller receivers could only dream of bringing in.&lt;/p&gt;
  208. &lt;div id="cz9Rtm"&gt;
  209. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center" data-conversation="none"&gt;
  210. &lt;p lang="zxx" dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://t.co/FTP6jZEKwC"&gt;pic.twitter.com/FTP6jZEKwC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Justis Mosqueda (@JuMosq) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/JuMosq/status/1912378794150871250?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 16, 2025&lt;/a&gt;
  211. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  212. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  213.  
  214. &lt;/div&gt;
  215. &lt;p id="NWwUxJ"&gt;It’s not too hard to see why the Packers might be interested in McMillan. His size and willingness to block (mentioned as a strong point in Dane Brugler’s “The Beast”) are prototypical for a Packers wide receiver, and with Christian Watson still recovering from an ACL tear, the Packers could use more of both of those attributes.&lt;/p&gt;
  216. &lt;p id="GTdZBJ"&gt;The knocks on McMillan are, somewhat surprisingly, character-related. You wouldn’t expect the “does he like football?” type questions about a player who turned down rich NIL deals to stay at Arizona and play with his high school best friend, but they’re out there. He’s on record saying &lt;a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/article/tetairoa-mcmillans-draft-stock-jeopardy-220352139.html"&gt;he doesn’t watch film&lt;/a&gt; and had to address &lt;a href="https://tucson.com/sports/college/football/wildcats/article_e64ab6e0-961e-11ef-a6c1-7711b803168e.html"&gt;concerns about his attitude and body language last season&lt;/a&gt;. I don’t have a substantive take here; if the Packers decide they’re fine with his attitude, that’s good enough for me. It’s worth mentioning, though, given his otherwise virtually spotless scouting report. And for that matter, McMillan markets his own “NALO” merchandise (Negative Attitudes Lose Opportunities), so it seems he’s at least aware of those criticisms.&lt;/p&gt;
  217. &lt;p id="vVnec2"&gt;Attitude aside, the real issue with landing McMillan is probably the rest of the draft field. The Packers pick 23rd, and they’d almost assuredly have to trade up to get McMillan if they wanted him. &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/green-bay-packers-draft/2025/4/16/24409687/nfl-draft-2025-packers-trade-up-scenarios-projections-23-overall-round-1-round-2-trade-value-chart"&gt;The Packers could get as high as 18&lt;/a&gt; without giving up their second-round pick, but I think it would be a surprise to see McMillan still on the board at that point. If he’s there, the Packers have done the work to know what they’re dealing with. Whether or not they pull the trigger is an open question, but they’ll at least have done the work. &lt;/p&gt;
  218. &lt;p id="33tvTe"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  337.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  338.  
  339.  &lt;p&gt;Get ready for next week and make sure you have a plan for parking if you’re headed down to the Lambeau Field area.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="7i6qzL"&gt;One week from today, we will know who the next member of the &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/"&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/a&gt; is. Round one of the 2025 &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt; will be in the books, and we’ll have a good idea on how well the event will go for the rest of the week in Green Bay.&lt;/p&gt;
  340. &lt;p id="2gZD4M"&gt;The logistics of Draft weekend are almost all finalized, but one piece that fans will need to keep in mind is the parking situation. For those driving in and planning to park near Lambeau Field and the Draft village, expect to pay some pretty steep prices for a spot, and plan to get there early. &lt;/p&gt;
  341. &lt;p id="ggbjPi"&gt;Meanwhile, the league’s plans for the Draft itself are also in the very final stages. On Thursday, the NFL announced several former players with Green Bay and Wisconsin connections who will be part of the festivities, which should make an exciting event even more fun.&lt;/p&gt;
  342. &lt;p id="eDRs3w"&gt;Finally, we at Acme Packing Company are&lt;a href="https://bsky.app/profile/acmepackingco.bsky.social/post/3lmzsmtuwjd2j"&gt; co-hosting a meetup early in the day next Friday&lt;/a&gt;, so come join us at Green Bay Distillery from 12-4 PM if you’re in the area!&lt;/p&gt;
  343. &lt;p id="t5Arvp"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.packers.com/news/seven-former-packers-to-participate-in-nfl-draft-festivities-2025"&gt;Seven former Packers to participate in NFL Draft festivities | Packers.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Several members of the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/super-bowl"&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; XLV team, as well as a couple of Lombardi-era Hall of Famers, will be part of the crew that open the draft and announce picks next week.&lt;/p&gt;
  344. &lt;p id="A2kCXx"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/fans/2025/04/17/where-to-find-parking-during-the-2025-nfl-draft-in-green-bay/82996248007/"&gt;Where to find parking during the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay | Packersnews.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you're headed to Green Bay next week, here's a primer on what to expect for parking. Some businesses are even letting you purchase and reserve spots in advance as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  345. &lt;p id="9HHEV8"&gt;&lt;a href="https://packerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2025/04/17/going-deep-9-vertical-threats-the-packers-could-target-on-day-3-of-2025-draft/83097128007/"&gt;Going deep: 9 vertical threats the Packers could target on Day 3 of 2025 draft | Packers Wire&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;If the Packers don't get a receiver -- or maybe they just don't get a deep threat -- in the first three rounds, here are a few players to keep in mind next Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
  346. &lt;p id="DuM1lH"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/these-linebackers-might-not-be-on-packers-nfl-draft-board"&gt;These Linebackers Might Not Be on Packers’ NFL Draft Board | SI.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;The linebacker position hasn't been a big focus this year for the Packers, but they could look to improve their depth in the draft. Here are a few players to look at and others to cross off Green Bay's board.&lt;/p&gt;
  347. &lt;p id="Oavggx"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/aaron-rodgers-remains-undecided-on-future-i-m-open-to-anything-and-attached-to-nothing"&gt;Aaron Rodgers remains undecided on future: 'I'm open to anything and attached to nothing' | NFL.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Okay, so no decision then. Thanks for that.&lt;/p&gt;
  348. &lt;p id="fE9Ole"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/apr/17/fyre-festival-2-postponed"&gt;Fyre festival 2 ‘postponed’ just weeks before it was scheduled to start | The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Who could have foreseen this? I thought for sure they'd wait to cancel it until the attendees were actually on the island.&lt;/p&gt;

  361.    <title>Packers are picking in the strength of the 1st round, according to 1 NFL team</title>
  362.    <content type="html">

  367.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  368.  
  369.  &lt;p&gt;The Denver Broncos seem to believe the 10th pick is roughly equal to an early 2nd rounder in the 2025 draft&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="vuLrtC"&gt;Don’t expect the &lt;a href="https://www.milehighreport.com"&gt;Denver Broncos&lt;/a&gt; to move up, unless it’s WAY up, next Thursday for the first round of the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL draft&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/we-re-aligned-in-how-we-want-to-build-this-team-hc-sean-payton-gm-george-paton-detail-broncos-valuable-continuity-strengths-of-2025-nfl-draft"&gt;Broncos general manager George Paton told the press&lt;/a&gt; that a player selected in the 10th spot “is going to be similar” to the player taken 20th overall in the 2025 draft. At the moment, Denver holds the 20th pick in the draft, just a few selections before the &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/"&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/a&gt; at 23rd overall.&lt;/p&gt;
  370. &lt;p id="oImAV7"&gt;Broncos head coach Sean Payton had the following quote about their position:&lt;/p&gt;
  371. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="wFW3tE"&gt;“It’s good to be picking [at] No. 20, if that’s the case. We all have heard and read — depending on where you are at and what you need — there is a point where we feel like we can get a similar player at this portion of the first round that you may be able to get maybe seven picks up and you may be able to get seven picks into the second [round].”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  372. &lt;p id="frB4a5"&gt;So, to at least one team in the NFL, the 10th to 13th overall pick is roughly equal to the 39th pick in the draft. If that’s how most teams feel, don’t expect there to be a lot of movement, beyond the top 10 selections, for next week’s draft.&lt;/p&gt;
  373. &lt;p id="GUjM7Z"&gt;According to Paton, the strength of this class is the late first round and the middle rounds. That seems to jive with how most people feel about this class. At the moment, the non-quarterbacks who are considered consensus blue chip prospects in this class are Colorado cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter, Penn State edge defender Abdul Carter and Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham.&lt;/p&gt;
  374. &lt;p id="nc5aaA"&gt;From there, opinions vary on whether or not &lt;a href="https://www.andthevalleyshook.com"&gt;LSU&lt;/a&gt; left tackle Will Campbell, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Penn State tight end Tyler Warren and Georgia edge defender Jalon Walker are blue chip prospects, due to their projected positions. Neither Jeanty or Warren play “premier” positions, while Campbell might end up as a guard and Walker could end up at off-ball linebacker in the NFL.&lt;/p&gt;
  375. &lt;p id="pPIQPp"&gt;If Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst thinks about this crop of talent in the same light as Paton and Payton, then the team probably won’t be looking for a trade up from the 23rd pick, but rather a trade down. That’s a good position to be in for the Packers, who don’t have an extra selection in any round until the seventh round for this year’s draft.&lt;/p&gt;

  395.  &lt;p&gt;The most frequently picked position for Green Bay is cornerback&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="nrLiCF"&gt;We’re less than a week away from the start of the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft"&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt;, so it’s time to flip through some more mock drafts. Who are the leaders to be taken by the &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/"&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/a&gt; with the 23rd overall pick? We went through 22 recent mock drafts to try to give you that answer.&lt;/p&gt;
  396. &lt;p id="LVfgvR"&gt;Let’s begin.&lt;/p&gt;
  397. &lt;h2 id="1d3kH3"&gt;Players selected by Packers in 3 mock drafts&lt;/h2&gt;
  398. &lt;h3 id="iRGHwv"&gt;Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas&lt;/h3&gt;

  411. &lt;/ul&gt;

  413. &lt;ul&gt;
  414. &lt;li id="Ajkgae"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-mock-draft-patriots-shake-up-draft-with-shocking-selection-raiders-trade-back-in-for-qb/"&gt;Jordan Dajani, CBS Sports&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  417. &lt;/ul&gt;
  418. &lt;p id="o4Rxi4"&gt;At the moment, the top three candidates, at least based on this recent set of mock drafts, to be the Packers’ first-round pick in 2025 are these three players. Jahdae Barron is a cornerback who might end up playing in the slot at the NFL level, which would make him an interesting match in a room that already features Keisean Nixon and Nate Hobbs. Derrick Harmon is an athletic defensive tackle who is frequently mocked to Green Bay, including in our &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/4/16/24410153/green-bay-packers-2-25-nfl-mock-draft-5-0-voting-3rd-round"&gt;first three community-voted mock drafts&lt;/a&gt;. Emeka Egbuka played in the slot at &lt;a href="https://www.landgrantholyland.com"&gt;Ohio State&lt;/a&gt; but can play either inside or outside at the next level. He doesn’t have a calling card against man coverage, though, which means the fit is less than snug for a team that is looking to replace Christian Watson.&lt;/p&gt;
  419. &lt;h2 id="ozxtWU"&gt;Players selected by Packers in 2 mock drafts&lt;/h2&gt;

Mykel Williams, Shemar Stewart, Shavon Revel Jr. and Tetairoa McMillan all &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/green-bay-packers-draft/2025/3/21/24390891/packers-draft-visit-tracker-2025-nfl-draft-college-prospects-meeting-with-green-bay-top-30"&gt;took pre-draft visits&lt;/a&gt; to Green Bay, &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/4/17/24409990/the-packers-are-approaching-pre-draft-visits-differently-this-year"&gt;a team that is spending a lot more of these visits on early-round prospects than in previous seasons&lt;/a&gt;. The only non-visitor here is Michigan’s Will Johnson, who was once a projected top-five selection but &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/4/16/24409628/nfl-draft-rumors-will-johnson-green-bay-packers-first-round"&gt;could apparently slide on draft day&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  448. &lt;h2 id="E3uqyD"&gt;Players selected by Packers in 1 mock draft&lt;/h2&gt;
  449. &lt;h3 id="b5DWcy"&gt;Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky&lt;/h3&gt;

  455. &lt;h3 id="AmZxvX"&gt;Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss&lt;/h3&gt;
  456. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li id="UODHnl"&gt;&lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516590&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jsonline.com%2Fstory%2Fsports%2Fnfl%2Fdraft%2F2025%2F04%2F15%2Fnfl-mock-draft-ashton-jeanty-falls-round-1%2F83063255007%2F&amp;amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acmepackingcompany.com%2F2025%2F4%2F18%2F24411098%2Fgreen-bay-packers-2025-mock-draft-first-round-up-cornerbacks" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Ayrton Ostly, &lt;em&gt;Milwaukee Journal Sentinel&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

  459. &lt;p id="iEMm93"&gt;Beyond Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant, the players who received one vote should be viewed as break-in-case-of-emergency selections at #23. With that being said, even though they aren’t considered close to consensus first-round picks, Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston did accept an invite to attend the draft in Green Bay and &lt;a href="https://www.redcuprebellion.com"&gt;Ole Miss&lt;/a&gt; cornerback Trey Amos took a pre-draft visit with the Packers. &lt;/p&gt;
  460. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="KTPgdj"&gt;
  461. &lt;p id="l7m0Pg"&gt;Ultimately, these mock drafts collectively had Green Bay taking cornerbacks nine times, wide receivers five times, defensive ends five times and defensive tackles three times. So, beyond NFL teams believing that the &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/4/14/24408497/green-bay-packers-news-nfl-slot-cornerback-contracts-2025-nate-hobbs-jalen-pitre-kyler-gordon"&gt;Packers’ contract for Hobbs is for him to play in the slot rather than outside cornerback&lt;/a&gt;, draft analysts seem to think the same, too.&lt;/p&gt;
