The 2026 NFL Draft is officially 31 days away, and today is mock draft Monday. Time for another mock draft. In my latest four-round mock draft, the Green Bay Packers addressed the defensive side of the ball as they look to take the next step under new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon.
Jacas is a powerful edge rusher with adequate quickness. He has thunder in his hands. He might as well call his left hand Mjolnir and his right hand Stormbreaker. The Illinois product recorded 26.5 tackles for loss, 19 sacks, 85 pressures and 61 run stops during his final two seasons with the Fighting Illini. If the Packers take an edge rusher with the 52nd overall pick, Jacas is on the short list of potential targets.
Halton finished this past season with seven tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 30 pressures and 19 run stops. The Sooner defensive tackle is an active interior presence with the lateral agility to attack gaps. He's got good initial quickness and rushes the passer with energy. Over the past two seasons, Halton has recorded 8.5 sacks and 59 pressures. The idea with this selection is to hopefully land a player like Brandon Cleveland on Day 3 of the draft. Adding Javon Hargrave and Halton to Green Bay's defensive line would do wonders to bolster the defense.
Davis has outstanding size for the position. He has go-go-gadget arms and he uses that length to crowd the catch point. He'll be labeled as tight, however, he's far from rigid. He has surprisingly good fluidity in his lower half for a taller cornerback. A former track athlete, Davis has the long and recovery speed to stay attached on vertical planes. Davis could develop into an X-Factor at the next level.
