The 2024 season did not go the way the Green Bay Packers were anticipating. Jordan Love didn’t emerge as an MVP candidate, and the team didn’t morph into a Super Bowl contender overnight. However, with back-to-back playoff appearances and a solid foundation in place, the team looks ready to take that next step soon.
It might just need some tinkering, and the latest mock draft from PFSN by Brentley Weissman has a recipe in place for Green Bay. With defense a priority for the Packers, Weissman focuses on that side of the football throughout the draft.
23) Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
“With Jaire Alexander potentially on the move, it would be wise for the Green Bay Packers to address the cornerback position early in the draft. The debate likely comes down to corner vs. defensive line, but in the end, a corner is the more pressing need given the current roster and the depth of the defensive line class,” Weissman said.
“Trey Amos is a long corner with excellent athleticism and instincts. Look for Amos to develop quickly into a productive starter for this young, athletic Green Bay defense.”
A top-10 defense wasn’t what many anticipated from the Packers last season, but that’s where they ended up on PFSN’s Defense+ metric. With Alexander likely on his way out, the team needs more depth and consistency, and Amos checks both boxes.
54) JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
“JT Tuimoloau is as steady as they come. He is a good run defender who plays with great length and power and can get home to the quarterback. He has a very high floor and can come in and be a rotational piece as the Packers continue to invest in their defense,” Weissman said.
Green Bay’s pass defense ranked 20th in 2024, and Tuimoloau could help bring consistency to a unit that was boom-or-bust throughout the season.
87) Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
“A physical freak, Alfred Collins has raw traits and tools that make him a high-upside pick. He’s a risk at this stage of the [NFL Draft], but it’s one worth taking. Green Bay is known for valuing toolsy defensive linemen, so this pick makes sense,” Weissman said.
Similar to Tuimoloau, Collins could be a valuable part of a defensive front that still needs work under head coach Matt LaFleur.
124) Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
You’ve heard the rumors. The team and players have made it clear they need a true No. 1 receiver to pair with Love. LaFleur’s offensive creativity and the talent of Love and Josh Jacobs led them to an eighth-ranked offense in PFSN’s Offense+ metric.
But more consistent production from the wideouts could come from Tai Felton. After being buried on the depth chart his first three years at Maryland, Felton broke out in 2024 for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns. He could be a steal if he can keep that pace as a pro.
159) Antwaun Powell-Ryland, EDGE, Virginia Tech
As another addition to the defensive front, Antwaun Powell-Ryland gives Green Bay even more help off the edge. With 25.5 sacks over the last two seasons, he was one of college football’s most disruptive players.
With a strong frame and powerful hands, Powell-Ryland is effective against both the pass and the run and plays with the discipline to excel against zone schemes.
198) Jalin Conyers, TE, Texas Tech
With the receiving core needing help, Green Bay could also look to upgrade the tight end spot behind standout Tucker Kraft, who had 707 yards and seven touchdowns in 2024.
Jalin Conyers proved to be a steady contributor for Texas Tech, catching 11 touchdowns during his college career while also adding three rushing scores.
237) Tonka Hemingway, DT, South Carolina
Tonka Hemingway has a knack for reading blocks and batting down passes at the line. A scheme-specific piece, he’d fit well in Green Bay’s system, thanks to his length and lateral quickness.
250) KeAndre Lambert-Smith, WR, Auburn
A late-round flyer, KeAndre Lambert-Smith brings explosive deep-threat potential. In his final year at Auburn, he averaged nearly 20 yards per catch and racked up 981 yards and eight touchdowns.
That kind of vertical ability is tough to teach — and could make him a valuable addition to the Packers’ passing attack.
The above Packers Draft does not reflect the priorities in proper order. The Packers most likely will select an Edge or DT in Round 1 They also require a true #1 Receiver. Defensive Line has some players who have signed elsewhere, our veteran Kenny Clark is 30 and Lucas VanNess who has been an underperforming at Edge so the D Line is a big priority. Trey Amos is not required at pick 23. Edge and DT , WR and DB are the needs.
