How Many Picks Do the Packers Have in the 2025 NFL Draft?
Currently, the Packers have eight picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Six of those eight are their original selections in the first six rounds. They then have a pick they acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers via a trade and a seventh-round compensatory selection.
The pick they acquired from the Steelers was in return for sending Preston Smith the other way during the season. Meanwhile, the Packers traded their seventh-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for Malik Willis ahead of last season.
What Are the Packers’ Biggest Needs in 2025?
- EDGE, CB, WR, DT, LB
The Green Bay Packers finished last season ranked seventh overall, with top-10 finishes on offense, defense, and their offensive line. That is a promising launching pad for the 2025 season, especially given that they are a young team returning most of their starters.
Along the defensive line, there is a need for improvement rather than replacement. Their top-10 defense was largely due to an opportunistic secondary, as they ranked middle of the pack in both pressures and sacks. Boosting the pass rush at both EDGE and DT could help their defense take a step up and cover a potential decline in the secondary.
That regression could come at cornerback, depending on how the position shapes up. They signed Nate Hobbs, but Jaire Alexander is also likely to depart (either via release or trade), meaning that the Packers should not be done adding starter-level talent and depth at the position. The depth chart at linebacker looks a little thin, so adding some more competition there with Quay Walker in the final year of his rookie deal would alleviate those concerns.
Offensively, there are two main needs. Josh Jacobs called out the wide receiver situation, stating that they need a true No. 1 for Jordan Love. The Packers have a very talented group, but none of them are receivers you look at as potential game-winners on a regular basis (as evidenced by Love’s massive man-zone coverage splits). With Christian Watson also likely to miss time after a January torn ACL, finding a vertical threat in the draft would fill an important void in the passing game.
