The NFL Draft is now a week away, and though the Green Bay Packers don't have a first-round pick in 2026, it's still possible to find mock drafts considering picks in the later rounds.
Here's a sampling from around the web:
The Packers have the No. 52 pick in the second round.
Chad Reuter of CBS conducted a three-round draft and made this pick for the Packers, a 6-foot-4, 320-pounder who can play nose tackle. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com quoted an unnamed scout with an interesting note: “He’s solid and tough and that’s a valuable position, so he probably goes earlier than you think.”
Walter Football slots the 6-4, 316-pounder to the Packers after he was named third-team Associated Press All-American and first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference after starting all 13 games at right guard.
Field Yates and Mel Kiper of ESPN.com conspired on this draft earlier in April and assigned the 6-4, 320-pounder to the Pack.
"There will be some elements of a 3-4 scheme in Green Bay under new coordinator Jonathan Gannon, which is where Hunter can fit as a nose tackle," Yates wrote. "Hunter had some uneven stretches of play and just 7.5 sacks in four seasons, but he has intriguing upside and finished his collegiate career with a standout performance against Oregon in the CFP."
Kiper conducted a more recent two-round draft and picked a cornerback for the Packers.
"Terrell is dealing with a hamstring injury at the moment, but he is a consistent man-to-man corner with plenty of speed," Kiper wrote. "He makes plays on the ball, and he had eight forced fumbles over the past two seasons, including five in 2025. He could potentially start for the Packers in Year 1."
Dane Brugler of The Athletic went a full seven rounds and gave the Packers a pass rusher, a 6-6, 256-pounder who has played a ton all four years at Penn State. He also blocked three kicks last year and forced three fumbles while starting all 13 games, one year after playing all 16 games. He has 23.5 career sacks.
The Packers have pick No. 84 in the third round.
Johnson was a second-team All-American according to the Associated Press, leading the FBS with 151.8 all-purpose yards per game. Stukes, already 24, has had a long college career and was a third-team All-American and first-team in the Big 12 after four interceptions last year. Igbinosun, a 6-foot-2 21-year-old has made 53 career college starts, fitting the mold of a press corner, according to NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. Willis played four years at Kansas State before earning honorable-mention All-Big Ten Conference last year.
