With only five weeks remaining in the regular season, it’s not long before the Green Bay Packers‘ first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is set.

That is, of course, assuming they don’t make the playoffs.

But where do the Packers currently stand? What would their first-round pick be if the season ended today?

What is the Packers’ 2023 draft pick entering Week 14?

As things stand, Green Bay would own the 11th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Their victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday didn’t help their position in the draft order. It also effectively means Green Bay will finish ahead of Chicago in the NFC North as it has a two-game cushion and the head-to-head tiebreaker.

That’s great, of course, but it will impact the draft order.

Unbelievably, the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks are currently on track for top-five picks.

Philadelphia has the best record in football but will receive the New Orleans Saints’ first-round pick. That is currently the fifth overall selection.

Seattle will receive the Denver Broncos’ first-rounder as part of the Russell Wilson trade. With the Broncos struggling, that would currently mean the Seahawks receive the third overall pick.

For the Packers to land a top-10 pick in next year’s draft, they will need to lose most of their games from here until the end of the season. They would also need teams like the Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, and Arizona Cardinals to win games.

While we don’t yet know when the Packers will be picking on the opening night of the draft next spring, there’s a good chance it will be in the top half of the first round, a lot earlier than we’re used to seeing for this team.

A playoff run would change that, but that seems highly unlikely at this point.
