Packers 2026 Offseason

[LouisEly]

Add Georgia Tech DT Jordan van den Berg to the list.

Was considered a late 7th/UDFA, but then he absolutely nuked his pro day.  6'3", 310, ran a 4.94 with a 36" vertical, 4.17 short shuttle, and 35 reps on the bench.  Good for a perfect 10.00 RAS - #2 all-time of 2,270 DTs.

Watson may not be better than Adams but he is a different type of WR that brings something to the table Adams did not and does not, and frankly no Packers WR really has this side of the 2000s with the exception of maybe Javon Walker. Maybe Nelson.

He's a go up and get it guy. That's not really the prototype GB WR, which generally has been a route runner with good hands. Even the guys we've had who have been good deep threats tend to run themselves open, they're not what Watson can be.

I love Watson. I hope they extend him again, I really do. There is a big gamble on his health, sure, but I would take it.

[adambr2]

We were fortunate to get the 1 year extension done with Watson when we did to at least buy us another season with him. 

When Alec Pierce is getting almost 30M AAV, I just don’t think Watson is going to be in our budget. 

[JosephC]

Based on these visits, and Gutekunst's draft history, I don't think Gutekunst is drafting a nose tackle and, frankly, I don't think he has any interest in drafting a big guy with average/below-average athleticism despite any exceptional ability (and exceptional potential) the guy might have for clogging up an interior running game.  The atitude sure seems to be - "This is a nickel/dime league and why bother with the run if we are playing pass defense 70% of the time."  Hopefully this does not come back to bite them in the rear in a critical game against the Lions or Bears, two teams that could have the ability to just pin their ears back and completely run all over them.

I'm not anticipating them drafting a nose tackle at all.  Players like Domonique Orange, Dontay Corleone, Tim Keenan III....I'd just take them completely off the board if projecting picks to the Packers.  I'm pretty sure Gutekunst would rather just take a Christen Miller or DeMonte Capehart, put them at nose tackle 25% of the time, and wager that the pass-rush upside they will bring will far outweigh any downside that might come with their ability to play the run at the nose tackle position.  One should also note that the pass-rush upside for players like this is only that, upside, because these guys really weren't known as top pass-rushers in college.

Also, based on the Hargrave signing, and the players they are scouting, if they end up playing a 3-4 as the base defense (and it won't actually be the base defense...the base defense will be a 4-2-5 because that's what they are likely to be in a majority of the time), it will be a 3-4 base defense in name only.  They will not have a zero on the roster.  They will have 4 guys on the line of scrimmage on almost every down, and one will be lined up as a 1, one will be lined up as a 3, one will be lined up as a 5, and the 245 pound guy that will be lined up as a 7 they will call an OLB, but in reality this will very likely be a 4-3 one-gap defense.

Based on these visits

Why do you say "based on visits"?  GB did not bring in their top overall pick for a visit in 2019 (Gary), 2022 (Q. Walker), 2023 (LVN), or 2024 (Morgan) (no in-person visits in 2020 or 2021; they had a video call with Jordan Love but not Stokes).  Most telling is 2019, 2022 and 2023 because those were the highest picks and thus the most likely that those guys would be available when they were picking. 

What that tells me is that if there's a guy they really want, they keep it under wraps and don't bring him in. There are exceptions to that rule (Jordan Love most likely), and maybe those guys weren't their top choice but blow them away during the visit/video call, but to not bring in their highest picks is most telling.

The guys they bring in who are likely early picks tend to be guys with medical questions or behavioral/character/intelligence questions.  Based on his history, the rest are likely backup plans in case the guys they really want aren't available.

The Packers did attend Orange's private workout on Tuesday, FWIW.

[CheezWizHed]

We still have Stackhouse and Ford on the roster - not that it makes me feel better about our run D... We could've easily dumped Ford if we didn't feel a NT was that important.  Stackhouse could/should improve on last year and might be "sufficient" in a rotation with Hargrove. 

Christian Miller seems like the ideal NT target for the Packers.  He reminds me of Kenny Clark - big enough to handle the NT, but with some wiggle for pressures and penetration. Not a 2 down NT. 

If they can't get Miller or someone like him high in the draft, I'd guess they grab a late round NT to compete with Stackhouse and "make do" for another year.

I think it's clear for a couple seasons now the Packers defensive strategy is to rush the QB and force turnovers. They didn't do the latter last year. That is a thing that's very luck-based, and they can't be worse than they were last year. 

I don't think they really care about the run defense. They'll make it as good as they can with what they have, but they're not going to go after assets that are known for it. They think their offense is good enough to win most games if they just aren't a sieve for opposing QBs. It seemed to be accurate last year until the very end when they just lost too many guys to survive. 

I am not too worried about DET. I think that goose is cooked, they had their shot and blew it. CHI is the king at the moment.

The visits tend to inform who they will value in the late rounds or as UDFAs as much as anything. I think they'd be stupid to pass on a good, athletic DT or NT. Problem is you generally have to wait for them to develop. But, that's why you sign stopgaps like Hargroves, maybe we'll pick up another guy like Jordan or Campbell.

Hey, I was awfully close, I said he’s worth a 5th.

Gotta believe they will draft at least one receiver this year. I don't know how you can pay both Reed and Watson.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The WR market is wild. I'm totally happy to get #153 and a future pick of any value for a WR that is the definition of "just a guy." $12.5 million for a guy whose yardage total has dipped each of his 3 seasons and lost PT to his peers. He's an OK WR, but still wild.

I read the other day that WR is deep this year. Good year to need one I suppose.

RAS isn't everything

 

 

[JosephC]

I'm shocked the Packers got two picks for Wicks.  He was a 332 yard WR last year.  Three years into his career, he's a 2.3 catch, 29 receiving yards per game receiver.  He's not a high volume guy and he's not a 3rd level guy.  Personally, I'd like my chances to use a 5th round pick on a WR and get similar production, and have that guy under contract for 4 years at reasonable salary.  I guess I don't understand what Roseman sees here, but also have to say that a fair assessment of Roseman puts him in the Stearns/Arnold tier of running a major, professional sports organization so it's hard to second-guess him.  It will be interesting to see how this works out from Philadelphia's end.

[JosephC]

The more and more I look at this draft, and I'm becoming more and more convinced that DE/OLB will be a pick at #52 or #84.  It seems like there will be a significant drop in talent at that position from #84 to the Packer's fourth round pick at #120.  If you look at Parsons rehab and Van Ness/Sorrell and have any question marks in there, then you have to pick one and cannot wait until round six to do it.  Maybe Gutekunst has a later round guy that he sees as a gem, like Mason Reiger, but I would not count on that.

Then I look at CB.  There are some decent later round candidates here, but they have a need at this position this year and will likely have an even bigger need at this position next year.  So in the first three picks, I would expect a CB to be picked.

LB is the one position that I think they will avoid altogether.  Cooper/Franklin/McDuffie/Hopper + Neimann/Welch pretty much fills the roster for 2026.  Cooper and Franklin are both under contract in 2027.  This looks like something that gets addressed in 2027, not 2026.

The position that everyone has ignored is safety, but McKinney, Williams, Bullard (nickel/safety) and Oladapo all become free agents after 2027, so it may be time to get someone in the pipeline now.  With Anderson gone, the 5th safety spot is now open.  There are some interesting athletic safeties available in the later rounds.

Other than that, just about any position at any pick.

I think there's a significant dropoff after the 2nd round.  There almost always is with edge rushers.

If they draft an edge, I think it's either day 2 or wait until round 7.  There are a couple of guys (spoiler alert) who I think make for interesting picks in round 6/7.  The benefit of round 6/7 picks is that there's a chance you can sneak them on to the practice squad during the season if they need a body there for a few weeks until Parsons is ready.

Mikail Kamara is one of those guys.  He had big production in 2024; sacks had a big dropoff in 2025 (went from 10 to 2), but there wasn't a big dropoff in pressures (69 in 2024 to 58 in 2025), and the Packers definitely take pressures into consideration.  Kamara wasn't invited to the combine, is listed at 6'1" (which in reality means maybe 6'0"), and is already over 24 years old, so there's a good chance he's there in the 6th/7th.  But he also played special teams and blocked the punt in the national championship game.

A lot of people liked Wicks as a breakout candidate two years ago. I don't have time to look it up but I think he was really good (elite?) at separation. The drops killed him.

I was one of those who thought he would break out.  The drops were one thing, injuries another.  He could still be a steal for the Eagles, but I tend to doubt it.  The $12.5M price tag for year two also would indicate they think he will break out.  

One "trade grade" article I read said that Wicks could be better with a better cast around him.... huh?  Jordan is a better passing QB than Hurts and Wicks couldn't pass the WR we had... how is he going to be better if (doubtful) the competition is better?  I wonder how some writers have jobs...

 It's really not a stretch. 
The Eagles OL is a LOT better than what the Packers had out there last year.
They have an elite RB who forces teams to play with another man in the box quite a bit.

They(Philly) struggled vs press man and Wicks was very good there. With Waddle, AJ Brown, Hollywood Brown plus a pretty solid TE in Goedert... at the very least, comparing last years offense to what the Eagles offense looks like, it should help him. 

He was also the 2nd highest graded WR we had last year. The whole hierarchy or being able to pass them is reliant on the chances you get. He didn't get enough last year.  

If he plays like he did his rookie year or last year, I think 65 catches 800 yards as a 3rd down threat is easily attainable. 


The Packers had to create more snaps for Golden and room to be able to draft a rookie WR. Getting a early 5th rd pick(the Falcons 5th) and a 6th rd pick is just really good value for us.... but I think Wicks will be well worth the 12.5 for Philly.

Yeah, he was awful his 2nd year with drops. But he was elite at creating separation. 
He was very good again last year in his limited opportunities.

You and I have been saying that every offseason after his rookie year, but he hasn't fixed his hands and just hasn't taken that next step.  It think the reality is that he is a 30-40 reception guy for 300-400 yards.  

He is going to a team where he is still a 4th WR at best (unless they trade AJ Brown), the top two had 1000 yard seasons and AJ Brown wants more. You have a TE that will get around 600 yards and give the RBs another 250 yards.  That accounts for 2850 of Hurt's typical 3200 yards. I don't think 800 yards is going to be easy at all for Wicks. I think he would've gotten more looks on the Packers this year. 

He would've made a nice emergency plan if Golden doesn't step into Doubs role well (that reliable goto possession receiver), but I happily take the 5th and 6th round picks and run...

[JosephC]

Burgler has a 7-round mock up.  IMO, Brugler is high enough on the credibility list to give some commentary as a Packer observer sees it.

2-52 - Dani Dennis-Sutton/EDGE/Penn State

I could not agree more.  I think Malachi Lawrence (at #26) and Gabe Jacus (at #46) are the DE/OLB's Gutekunst really wants, but he will be more than happy to take the superb athletic testing Dennis-Sutton at this spot with the other two players off the board.

3-84 - Davison Igbinosun/CB/Ohio State

Nope.  While it's likely that Gutekunst would like Igbinosun's size, length and physical play, to me he seems too average of an athlete for Gutekunst to take this high.  I'd guess Georgia CB-Daylen Everette in this spot, who ended up being picked at #93 in this mock.

4-120 - Febechi Nwaiwu/G-C/Oklahoma

A reasonable enough pick as the Packers sure could use an interior swing-man.  While I think Gutekunst may prefer to go offense here and pick someone like Boston College OT-Jude Bowry (#144), Penn State RB-Nick Singleton (#140) or Baylor WR-Josh Cameron (#141), I will go with SE Louisiana DT-Kaleb Proctor(#136) as the pick, who was one of the Packer's 30 visits.

5-153 - Tim Keenan/DT/Alabama

I don't see this happening.  Unathletic nose tackle, the type of guy that Gutekunst would bring in if he went undrafted, but I don't see him using a fifth round pick on a player like this.  I'd project Mississippi OT-Diego Pounds(#182) to the Packers in this spot.  32 starts at LT in ACC(North Carolina) and SEC(Mississippi), but like Belton last year, Gutekunst would probably view him as a candidate for any spot along the offensive line except center.

5-160 - Dametrious Crownover/OT/Texas A&M

This is a very reasonable projection.  Crownover is very gifted and could very well have the highest upside of the middle round offensive tackles.  I'm guessing Gutekunst would prefer the LT experience that Pounds brings, but wouldn't be a bit surprised if he went with Crownover instead.  Considering the glaring lack of offensive line depth currently on the roster, it wouldn't be crazy to project them taking both Pounds and Crownover with their fifth round picks.  However, I would think Gutekunst would be chomping at the bit to take an offensive skill position player by now.  The obvious projection would be super-tester Cincinnati WR-Jeff Caldwell (#163), but I'm not projecting him to Green Bay as there just seems to be something missing with him.  Even though Brugler has projected Indiana RB-Kaelon Black to the Packers at #201, I'll guess Gutekunst does not wait around and takes Black at this spot.

6-201 - Kaelon Black/RB/Indiana

Very reasonable projection as he is one of the Packer's 30 visits.  I'll go with Kentucky C-Jager Burton (#239) here.  Burton has 23 career starts at LG, 15 starts at C and 9 starts at RG.  Short-armed, very athletic guy who some think will be stuck at center, but others think he could end up at any of the interior offensive line spots.

7-236 - Jaden Duggar/LB/Louisiana

Brugler goes with one of the Packer 30 visits here.  Since the Packers already have 5-6 solid candidates for the 2026 roster, plus both starters being under contract in 2027, I'm guessing the Packers are looking at Duggar primarily as an undrafted free agent.  But if the board is not to their liking this late in the draft, anyone becomes a possibility.  I'll go with Florida WR-J. Michael Sturdivant (#251).  Sturdivant looked like a future star in 2022 and has gone backwards ever since.  However, he's 6-2 7/8, 207 pounds, ran a 4.40 40 and had a 39" vertical at the combine...so he appears to be a late round candidate that Gutekunst would love.

7-255 - Michael Heldman/EDGE/Central Michigan

After adding Dennis-Sutton earlier, the Packers will have so many DE/OLB on the roster that it would be very hard to take a second one IMO.  Heldman is another 30 visit for the Packers.  I'll go with a different 30 visit, James Madison S-Jacob Thomas.  Fifth safety spot is now open in Green Bay, and Thomas appears towards the top of the list of very late round/undrafted candidates that have visited Green Bay.
