Without a first-round selection, the Green Bay Packers enter the 2026 draft focused on maximizing value and addressing roster balance through the middle rounds.

While much will change before we get to April, with scheme fit, personal evaluation, and conversations with scouts across football in mine, here is an early look at where the Packers could go come April.

The Packers' first-round pick belongs to the Dallas Cowboys after the Micah Parsons trade, but they currently hold six selections.

Packers address biggest needs in 2026 7-round mock draft

Round 2, Pick 60: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia

Corner remains a high priority, and Everette fits the Packers' defensive identity. A physical man corner, he thrives in the contact window and plays with the downhill aggression that has become synonymous with Georgia DBs.

Green Bay added Javon Bullard out of Athens in the second round a few years back, and goes right back to the Bulldog well here with Everette, who would bring immediate toughness and pure coverage ability to a secondary in need of juice.

Round 3, Pick 92: Trevor Goosby, OT, Texas

Goosby is one of the more intriguing offensive line names in the middle rounds, particularly after strong late-season tape.

His performance against Texas A&M and potential top-20 pick Cashius Howell showcased his ability to neutralize high-level edge rushers with technique, and he projects as a player who can compete early for snaps, whether as a developmental left tackle or a versatile sixth offensive lineman.

Round 4, Pick 128: Lee Hunter, iDL, Texas Tech

Hunter has flown under the radar somewhat due to the star power surrounding him on Texas Tech's defensive front, but his impact is undeniable. He brings positional versatility, capable of lining up at one-tech or three-tech, while playing with power, leverage, and outstanding explosiveness for a man of his stature (over 320 pounds). For Green Bay, he adds rotational interior depth with the ability to disrupt on all three downs.

Round 5, Pick 167: Tacario Davis, CB, Washington

Doubling down at corner underscores just how urgent the need is in Green Bay's secondary. Davis, a transfer from Arizona, was once viewed as a potential top-50 prospect thanks to his length and ball skills just a few years back, but here, he represents strong value and developmental upside at this stage of the draft.

Round 6, Pick 206: Jack Pyburn, EDGE, LSU

You can never have enough pass rushers, and Pyburn offers depth and rotational utility late on Day 3. He brings SEC-tested experience and a relentless motor that fits well in a limited role, and as a sixth-round pick in this exercise, he profiles as a situational rusher who can contribute on roughly 10–15 percent of defensive snaps while continuing to develop. He will attend the Senior Bowl in late January.

Round 7, Pick 241: Jalen Walthall, WR, Incarnate Word

Walthall is a small-school name worth tracking for you folks who love finding the diamonds in the rough. One of the most productive receivers in program history (22 TDs in two seasons after transferring in from Hawaii), he brings reliable hands, polish as a route runner, and competitiveness to a Packers wide receiver room that has never been shy in adding young talent.

As a seventh-round pick, he offers intriguing developmental upside and a chance to stick based on production and versatility at 6-foot-2.
