Mock drafts are naturally a little tricky at this point of the NFL offseason, as a team's biggest needs now and its biggest needs when the actual draft rolls comes around in late April could be vastly different depending on what happens with free agency.
Now, that might not pertain to the Packers much this year, as Green Bay isn't likely to be a big factor in free agency, as the team is currently projected to be about $1.43 million on the wrong side of the 2026 salary cap figure.
That's obviously not that much over, and the Packers will undoubtedly create some space by restructuring some contracts and cutting some players—Elgton Jenkins' release alone frees up more than $19.5 million, for instance—but from an overall standpoint, Green Bay could easily add more new players in the draft than it will on the open market, which brings us back to mocks.
Now, this particular draft doesn't favor the Packers, as they gave up their first-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys in the Micah Parsons trade. So, one-round mocks mean nothing. Thankfully, however, our pal Cody Williams at FanSided recently constructed a three-round projection, so let's have a look at what he has Green Bay doing with its first two picks.
No. 52: Keionte Scott, CB, Miami
One of the biggest needs for Green Bay this offseason is at the cornerback position, and with their first pick of the '26 draft at No. 52 overall, Williams has the Packers landing Miami's Keionte Scott, who spent two seasons playing juco ball and three years with Auburn before transferring to the Hurricanes ahead of the 2025 campaign.
Simply put, Scott, who can play both on both the perimeter and in the slot, is absolutely electric and excels in all areas, with his 90.5 overall PFF grade ranking third among 890 qualifying cornerbacks across the country this past year.

Breaking things down by category, his 82.0 pass-rush grade ranked 34th, his 86.4 coverage grade ranked 22nd, and his 91.4 run-defense grade ranked second. So, again, he excels everywhere.
While strong in man coverage, he also has no issues dropping into zone and is fantastic at reading routes. At 6-foot and close to 200 pounds, he's got good size and certainly has no problem getting physical when necessary. If Scott falls this far, which may not happen, the Packers should pounce.
No. 84: Brian Parker II, OT, Duke
With Jenkins likely to be cut, Rasheed Walker likely out the door in free agency, and Sean Rhyan perhaps gone as well, the Packers obviously need some offensive line help, and Williams has Green Bay going that route in the third round at No. 84 overall by selecting Duke's Brian Parker II.
Parker earned Second-Team All-ACC honors in each of the last two seasons and was also named a Third-Team All-American this past year, all well-deserved honors, as he's only allowed three sacks over the last two years, while also serving as an elite run blocker.
While a tackle by trade, the 6-foot-5, 300-pounder could conceivably be moved to the interior if necessary, given his skill set, and that may be what gets him drafted on Day 2.
