Packers maximize final days of NFL Draft with smart moves that increasingly shape roster in post-first round mock draft
Green Bay didn’t have a selection on Thursday, but general manager Brian Gutekunst is set to make eight total selections between Friday and Saturday.
The first round of the draft was very monotonous for Green Bay Packers fans entering it without a selection for the first time in four decades. But the mock draft frenzy never stops.
The first positive piece of good news is that the Packers used their original selection to acquire star edge defender Micah Parsons. The second one is that there is still plenty of talent available over the final six rounds of the draft.
So, we’re gonna utilize A to Z Sports’ draft simulator to check out who’s still on the board for this exercise.
Second round, Pick 52: Davison Igbinosun, CB, Ohio State
6’2″ corner with rare size, length, and physicality combination. Excellent in press coverage and run support. Penalty-prone (16 PI/holding in 2024); dramatically improved technique in 2025.
Third round, Pick 84: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State
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.
Fourth round, Pick 120: Drew Shelton, T, Penn State
Exceptional movement ability with elite footwork for tackle. Only one sack allowed on pass-blocking snaps in 2025. Lighter frame at 6’5″, 313 with below-average play strength. Impressive pass-protection refinement last season.
Fifth round, Pick 153: DeMonte Capehart, DT, Clemson
6’5″, 313-pound defensive tackle with explosive first step and powerful punch. Heavy-handed interior defender who overwhelms blockers. Quick rise means limited pass-rush plan. One of fastest DTs at NFL Cmbine with elite RAS.
Fifth round, Pick 160: Jeff Caldwell, WR, Cincinnati
6’5″ 216-pound WR. 4.31 forty, perfect 10.0 RAS (2nd of 3,830 WRs since 1987). 32 catches, 478 yards, six TDs in 2025. Elite vertical threat, prototypical NFL frame. Basic route tree, inconsistent separation. Below-ideal catch rates despite size.
Sixth round, Pick 201: Fa’alili Fa’amoe, T, Wake Forest
6’5″, 317-pound tackle with big hands and strong power in double-teams. Heavy-bodied anchor. Marginal athleticism with late feet and soft edges. Guard swing represents best NFL path long-term.
Seventh round, Pick 236: Cole Wisniewski, S, Texas Tech
Strong run-support tackler with sneaky range and linebacker background. Size at 6’3″ and football IQ stand out. Speed and deep-coverage capabilities questioned in evaluation against spread offenses.
Round 7, Pick 255: Noah Whittington, RB, Oregon
Whittington offers the perfect package for a seventh-round pick. With his elusiveness and speed, he complements well what Josh Jacobs does. Moreover, the young player is also a kick returner. Depth on offense and production on special teams is the ideal combination here.
