Second round, Pick 52: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State
Tool description: Exceptional athlete with 9.96 RAS (ninth all-time among DEs). Violent hands and strong run defender with long arms. Heavy-footed with stiff ankles limiting fluidity. Snap-to-snap inconsistency plagues evaluation.
Third round, Pick 84: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia
Tool description: Sticky man-corner with smart hand usage and boundary ability. 4.38 40- speed and man-coverage specialist. Lacks zone instincts and processing speed. Boom-or-bust profile with developmental ceiling.
Fourth round, Pick 120: Bryce Lance, WR, North Dakota State
Tool description: Elite explosion numbers with 4.34-second 40-yard dash and 41.5-inch vertical at 6-3. 62% contested-catch rate. Lean build and limited seasoning on bigger stage. Younger brother of former No. 3 pick Trey Lance.
Fifth round, Pick 160: Logan Taylor, OL, Boston College
Tool description: Broad-framed guard with versatility across the interior line. Strong lower half anchors well in run-first systems. Quickness adequate but footwork needs refinement against quick interior rushers. 6-7, 312 pounds. All-ACC Second-Team.
Sixth round, Pick 201: Skyler Gill-Howard, DT, Texas Tech
He’s an undersized interior defensive lineman, which may affect the Packers’ perception of him. But Gill-Howard is a disruptive player and an elite interior rusher. Despite his size, he’s actually not a bad run defender, even though this is not his calling card.
Seventh round, Pick 236: Dae’Quan Wright, TE, Ole Miss
Not the best blocker, but can be solid in the move. Wright has a good feel for zone spacing, which makes him a really intriguing receiving tight end.
Seventh round, Pick 255: Eli Heidenreich, RB, Navy
Heidenreich is a versatile and enticing offensive piece to add to Matt LaFleur’s offense. He can play running back, fullback, h-back, and wide receiver. Throughout his three seasons at Navy, he had 1,157 rushing yards and 1,994 receiving yards, with 23 scrimmage touchdowns. In 2024, he also returned a little bit — especially punt returns.
