How will the Green Bay Packers build off of their successful 2023 season?
Following a surprisingly successful 2023 campaign, the Green Bay Packers find themselves just a piece or two away from truly contending in the NFC.
Jordan Reid of ESPN released his final mock draft ahead of Thursday’s event, where he had the Green Bay Packers selecting versatile Duke offensive lineman, Graham Barton.
Green Bay Packers Full Seven-Round Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 25: Graham Barton, C, Duke
“One of the most impressive non-QB prospects that I saw out on the pro day circuit was Barton. He’s an easy mover at 6-foot-5, 313 pounds. Barton spent last season at tackle, but he’s projected to move inside at the next level, and he’s my top-ranked center. Barton would be a gritty plug-and-play option for a Packers team that has had a lot of success drafting offensive linemen over the past decade.”
Round 2, Pick 41: Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
“With a clear lack of depth on the second level of the defense beyond Quay Walker, the Packers could use Cooper’s playmaking ability. He had 80 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and eight sacks last season.”
Round 3, Pick 88: Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon
“Jackson is a long and active corner who would add a flexible skill set to the Packers’ secondary; he can play both man and zone coverage.”
Round 3, Pick 91: Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee
“The Packers signed Josh Jacobs in free agency to replace Aaron Jones, but Wright would bring a different element. He’s a home run hitter who averaged 7.4 yards per carry (third in the FBS) and had 35 runs for 10-plus yards last season.”
In rounds four through seven, the Green Bay Packers have six picks, where ESPN have the club selecting Baylor EDGE rusher, Gabe Hall (126), Michigan EDGE rusher, Braiden McGregor (169), Oregon State safety, Kitan Oladapo (202), Pittsburgh cornerback, MJ Devonshire (219), Oklahoma offensive tackle, Walter Rouse (245), and Kansas State guard, KT Leveston (255).
