The more the pre-draft process evolves, the clearer it is what the Green Bay Packers need and most likely will get in April. Cornerbacks, interior defensive linemen, and offensive linemen are the top needs — later, if possible, backups for the offensive side of the ball could be viable choices as well.

In this latest seven-round mock using the PFF draft simulator, that’s the path we took. Additionally, we moved down 46 spots from the sixth to the seventh-round to add another seventh and a 2027 seventh, which sounds like a good process for a team that needs more volume of picks.

Round 2, Pick 52: Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State

He’s not the fastest corner, which can be a problem for the Packers. But Johnson is instinctive, has a good read of the game, is good in zone and can tackle. The alignment versatility is also a huge component of his profile.

Round 3, Pick 84: Gennings Dunker, T, Iowa

A huge body for a tackle, Dunker is the perfect long-term right tackle if the Packers intend to move Zach Tom to the left side. He is a talented run blocker and can move people, and is also a viable pass protector.

Round 4, Pick 120: Chris McClellan, DT, Missouri

The Packers need a versatile interior defensive lineman who can rush the passer and stop the run at the same time, and McClellan offers that. He has some technique issues to clean up, but the talent is there to justify a selection in this area.

Round 5, Pick 158: Kaleb Proctor, DT, Southeastern Louisiana

Proctor is an impressive interior rusher, and his ability to affect the quarterback and disrupt the offensive line are both excellent. With Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, and Colby Wooden all entering a contract year, it makes sense to take multiple players at the position.

Round 7, Pick 236: Eric O’Neill, EDGE, Rutgers

O’Neill is not an athletic edge with a high upside, but this is the seventh round. He has motor and is an older, polished prospect. His production is impressive, as he generated 180 pressures throughout five college football seasons.

Round 7, Pick 246: Sawyer Robertson, QB, Baylor

The Packers are losing Malik Willis, so taking a late-round flyer is intriguing. Robertson is a natural thrower, has a strong arm, and good pocket mobility.

Round 7, Pick 251: Jamal Haynes, RB, Georgia Tech

Haynes spent five years in college and was productive in the past three. He’s a smaller back, but is good at reading holes and has scored 25 scrimmage touchdowns since 2023. Haynes could be a depth, complementary back.

Round 7, Pick 254: Bryce Foster, C, Kansas

It’s hard to find viable offensive linemen in the seventh round, but Foster here proves it’s not impossible. He’s an incredible run blocker and physical pass protector — but moving people is what makes his game the most enticing.

Round 7, Pick 257: Avery Smith, CB, Toledo

With elite speed, Smith was considered one of the highlights of the East-West Shrine Bowl. His athleticism will make the Packers pretty interested.
