The Green Bay Packers will receive an extra selection in the draft they host next month.
The NFL announced which teams will receive compensatory picks for the 2025 NFL Draft based on last year's free agency moves.
Green Bay will receive a seventh-round choice (No. 250 overall) for the loss of tackle Yosh Nijman.
The Packers also lost safety Darnell Savage and guard Jon Runyan Jr. last year, but the signings of Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney canceled out any consideration for compensatory draft picks.
Updated list of Green Bay Packers 2025 NFL Draft picks after receiving compensatory selection
Green Bay currently sits at eight selections for 2025, including a combined six in Rounds 1-6 and two in Round 7.
- Round 1 (No. 23 overall)
- Round 2 (No. 54)
- Round 3 (No. 87)
- Round 4 (No. 124)
- Round 5 (No. 159)
- Round 6 (No. 198)
- Round 7 (No. 237) - from Pittsburgh
- Round 7 (No. 250) - compensatory selection
The Packers don't have their own selection in the seventh round, as they sent that to the Tennessee Titans for Malik Willis. It's fair to say that deal worked out pretty well for the Packers.
However, Green Bay still ended up with two seventh-rounders, including one from the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Preston Smith deal. Again, it worked out well for the Packers, considering the Steelers have already moved on from Smith.
The other comes from losing Nijman in free agency, with the NFL awarding the Packers a compensatory selection.
While a bonus seventh-rounder might not seem like much, general manager Brian Gutekunst has made some smart moves in the final round. Starting left tackle Rasheed Walker, who gave the Packers confidence to move on from Nijman, was selected No. 249 overall. The Packers picked cornerback Carrington Valentine, who has made 19 starts in two seasons, with the No. 232 pick.
Last summer, Gutekunst turned a seventh-rounder into Malik Willis, who helped the Packers win three games without Jordan Love.
It's rare to find starters that late in the draft, but Gutekunst has proven he can find value.
