Packers' Draft Day Nightmares About to Surface!

MANHATTAN, KS - NOVEMBER 16: Arizona State Sun Devils offensive lineman Max Iheanachor (58) looks to block as quarterback Sam Leavitt (10) starts to run in the fourth quarter of a Big 12 game between the Arizona State Sun Devils and Kansas State Wildcats on November 16, 2024 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, KS. (Photo by Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images We’re sort of transitioning out of free agency here and into draft mode, considering that the free agent market has slowed down and the Green Bay Packers clearly want to collect their compensatory picks for 2027. If there are some cap casualties down the line, I could see the Packers making a move, but I doubt they sign a compensatory free agent for more than $2.

5 million per (basically, when the risk of losing a pick comes into play) at this point. With that being said, who are some of your draft crushes for the upcoming class? I’ve been doing my best to chip away at the 40th- to 120th-ranked prospects on the consensus board at the Packers’ position of need.

(History says that top-40 prospects probably will all be off the board by pick #52). As of now, here’s where I stand on these guys. Offensive Line Day 2 Grades Max Iheanachor, Arizona State (T) — I actually graded him as a first-round pick Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon (G) Keyland Rutledge, Georgia Tech (G/C) Sam Hecht, Kansas State (C) Gennings Dunker, Iowa (G) Day 2-3 Grades Connor Lew, Auburn (C) Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M (G) Jake Slaughter, Florida (C) Caleb Tiernan, Northwestern (T) Dametrious Crownover, Texas A&M (T) Day 3 Grade Brian Parker II, Duke (C) Interior Defensive Line Day 2 Grades Gracen Halton, Oklahoma (3T) Domonique Orange, Iowa State (NT/nickel nose) Christen Miller, Georgia (nickel nose/3T) Darrell Jackson, Florida State (NT) Day 2-3 Grades DeMonte Capehart, Clemson (NT/nickel nose/3T) Tim Keenan, Alabama (NT) Lee Hunter, Texas Tech (nickel nose/3T) Day 3 Grades Chris McClellan, Missouri (NT/nickel nose/3T) Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati (NT) Off-Ball Linebacker Day 2 Grades Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech (Mike/Will) Anthony Hill, Texas (Mike/Will) Josiah Trotter, Missouri (Mike) Day 2-3 Grades Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh (Will/Slot) Deontae Lawson, Alabama (Will) Day 3 Grades Harold Perkins, LSU (Will/Slot) Jake Golday, Cincinnati (Mike/EDGE) Taurean York, Texas A&M (Mike) Spent a bunch of time watching off-ball linebackers before we made three moves at the position.

What a bozo. Outside Cornerback Day 2 Grades Davison Igbinosun, Ohio State Devin Moore, Florida Will Lee III, Texas A&M Chris Johnson, San Diego State Daylen Everette, Georgia Day 2-3 Grades Domani Jackson, Alabama Julian Neal, Arkansas Tacario Davis, Washington (possible safety) Day 3 Grades None so far I purposely didn’t include D’angelo Pond, Keith Abney II, Malik Muhammad and Chandler Rivers here, since Green Bay is unlikely to draft them due to size. I do think Muhammad is a good scheme fit, but he’s about 15 pounds lighter than the Packers usually go at the position.
