Packers 7-round mock draft: The dream haul for Green Bay in 2023
Round 7 (232): Jake Moody, K, Michigan
Mason Crosby is still a free agent, but GM Brian Gutekunst sure didn't make it sound like he would be back this season.
#Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said he "would never close the door" on Mason Crosby but it does not sound like the veteran kicker will be back in Green Bay in 2023. The decision sounds mostly financial-motivated. "We're limited financially, but I would never say never."

If Crosby is gone, the Packers will need a new kicker for the first time in over a decade-and-a-half. Michigan's Jake Moody is the top-ranked kicker in the class.
Round 7 (235): Stetson Bennett, QB, Georgia
With Jordan Love taking over as the new QB1, the Packers need to add another quarterback to back him up. Perhaps they go with a veteran free agent like Teddy Bridgewater, but another option is to draft a young quarterback to develop.
Round 7 (242): Will Mallory, TE, Miami
The Packers landed their new TE1 earlier in the mock draft. Now, they focus on adding more depth to the tight end room. Will Mallory is a good athlete but needs some time to develop. He could start out as a backup in Green Bay behind Tucker Kraft, Josiah Deguara, and Tyler Davis, but he has potential.
Round 7 (256): Jaxson Kirkland, OL, Washington
The Packers started this mock draft with an offensive lineman, and that's how they finish it off. Brian Gutekunst loves to keep adding offensive line depth in the draft. Washington's Jaxson Kirkland could play tackle or guard, and would compete for a spot on the Packers' 53-man roster this season.
