Packers 7-Round Mock Draft: Green Bay Adds Talent for Super Bowl Return

Spread the love

After the Super Bowl, the Green Bay Packers enter the 2025 NFL offseason with all seven of their draft picks and a prime opportunity to build on the success of their last three draft classes.

With a young and improving roster already in place, this draft could be the final piece in their quest for a Super Bowl run.

To take the next step, the Packers must focus on key areas that will help them surpass the Philadelphia Eagles—the team that ended their playoff run last season and went on to win the Super Bowl.

Here’s a seven-round Packers mock draft aimed at strengthening their roster and positioning them for a legitimate championship push in 2025.

Round 1, No. 23 Overall: Armand Membou, OL, Missouri

If the Packers want to dethrone the Eagles, reinforcing their offensive line must be a priority.

Green Bay struggled in the trenches during the playoffs, especially after Josh Myers’ injury. Protecting Jordan Love and establishing a more dominant front should be at the top of their offseason agenda.

 

With 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan poised for a starting role in 2025, doubling down on premium offensive line talent makes sense. Looking ahead, Zach Tom, Rasheed Walker, and Sean Rhyan will hit unrestricted free agency in 2026, with Elgton Jenkins following in 2027. Since the Packers can’t retain everyone, now is the time to reload the talent pipeline before gaps emerge.

Armand Membou is an athletic, versatile lineman who perfectly fits Green Bay’s prototype. While he played offensive tackle in college, he has the skill set to shift inside to guard if needed. The Packers value positional flexibility, and Membou offers another high-upside, plug-and-play option for the future.

Building a dominant offensive line is key to transforming this young roster into a true Super Bowl contender. Adding Membou helps ensure Green Bay remains strong up front, no matter how future contract decisions unfold.

Round 2, No. 54 Overall: Jack Sawyer, DE, Ohio State

If strengthening the offensive line is the first step, then bolstering the defensive front is the next priority.

The Eagles overpowered both Green Bay and Kansas City in the trenches during the playoffs, disrupting offenses with their four-man rush and forcing costly mistakes. To compete at the highest level, the Packers must elevate their pass rush this offseason.

That process starts with Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary regaining top form. As two of the team’s highest-paid defenders, Green Bay can’t afford another subpar season from either.

Even if they bounce back, the Packers still need more firepower up front—enter Jack Sawyer.

The 6-foot-4, 271-pound defensive end from Ohio State plays with relentless energy and toughness. His college career started slow, recording just 22 pressures as a sophomore, but he erupted in his senior year with 64 pressures, helping lead Ohio State to a national championship. His steady development highlights his potential to refine his game at the next level.

Sawyer isn’t the most technically polished pass rusher yet—his repertoire of moves remains limited—but his motor never stops. He plays with power, aggression, and relentless effort, making him an ideal rotational piece for Green Bay’s defensive front.

If the Packers want to pressure quarterbacks like Philadelphia does, they need more players who win with effort and disruption. Sawyer embodies that mindset perfectly.

Round 3, No. 87 Overall: Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State

The Packers’ cornerback room is set for a major shakeup this offseason.

Jaire Alexander appears to be on his way out, whether via trade or release. Meanwhile, Eric Stokes, Corey Ballentine, and Robert Rochell are all unrestricted free agents, leaving Green Bay with significant holes in the secondary.

Ideally, the Packers would address this need earlier in the draft, but in the third round, they still land a quality prospect in Jacob Parrish.

At 5-foot-10, 196 pounds, Parrish may not have ideal size, but that hasn’t stopped Jaire Alexander—who has the same measurements—from excelling when healthy. While Parrish isn’t quite the same level of athlete, he’s plenty quick and agile enough to stick with receivers through their routes.

What sets Parrish apart from other undersized corners is his physicality and toughness. He doesn’t just cover—he competes. Whether taking on a shifty receiver or a bruising running back, he’s more than willing to come downhill and make tackles. That kind of effort and grit is exactly what Green Bay needs as they reconstruct their secondary.

Parrish alone won’t be enough to fix the Packers’ cornerback situation—they still need more depth and a true CB1 to replace Alexander.

That said, securing a versatile, tough, and athletic corner in the third round would be a solid step toward rebuilding their defensive backfield.

Round 4, No. 123 Overall: Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State

The postseason made one thing clear: a dominant defensive line is essential, and the Packers must continue investing in their front four.

With Jeff Hafley transitioning Green Bay to a 4-3 defense, the team needs the right personnel to fit the scheme.

As of now, Kenny Clark, Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, and Colby Wooden are all under contract for 2025, but that doesn’t mean the defensive tackle position is solidified.

Clark struggled through an underwhelming 2024 season, and Wyatt—once seen as a first-round cornerstone—has yet to establish himself as a consistent difference-maker.

Adding to the uncertainty, T.J. Slaton is set to hit free agency, potentially leaving a major void in the middle of the defensive line. If Slaton departs, Green Bay will need a powerful interior presence to clog running lanes and disrupt offenses.

That’s where Joshua Farmer comes in.

At 6-foot-3, 314 pounds, Farmer isn’t quite as big as Slaton, but he’s more than capable of anchoring the defense. More importantly, he’s not just a space-filler—he’s an explosive, high-motor disruptor. He attacks off the snap, engages blockers with power, and relentlessly pursues the ball—exactly the type of aggressive interior lineman Hafley wants in his system.

Farmer would be a valuable addition to Green Bay’s defensive tackle rotation, providing run-stopping ability with pass-rushing upside—a perfect fit for a team looking to build a dominant defensive front.

Round 5, No. 160 Overall: Jerami Harris, CB, Iowa

General Manager Brian Gutekunst isn’t hesitant to double down on a position in the NFL Draft. He’s already addressed the defensive line in this mock and is now doing the same at cornerback, a position that could experience significant turnover this offseason.

If the Packers lose two or more corners from last season, they’ll need to bring in reinforcements. Eric Stokes, Corey Ballentine, and Robert Rochell are all unrestricted free agents, and Jaire Alexander is a potential cut or trade candidate due to his contract and injury history.

Green Bay can’t afford to stand still at cornerback.

Unfortunately, free agency doesn’t provide many appealing options.

The best available corners—D.J. Reed, Charvarius Ward, Rasul Douglas, and Carlton Davis—are solid players but are likely to demand high salaries, which may not align with Green Bay’s long-term plans. This means the Packers will need to get creative in rebuilding their cornerback group.

The most budget-friendly solution is through the draft.

Jerami Harris presents a high-risk, high-reward option in the fifth round.

He missed the 2022 season with an ankle injury and shortened his 2024 season to focus on his long-term health.

However, when on the field, he was effective. In his final season, he allowed just one touchdown and intercepted three passes, showcasing the ball skills Green Bay urgently needs.

At 6-foot-1, Harris has the size and physicality to play on the outside, making him a natural complement to Jacob Parrish, whom the Packers selected in the third round of this mock.

If Harris remains healthy, he could be a late-round gem and an important part of the Packers’ secondary rebuild.

Round 6, No. 199 Overall: Seth McLaughlin, C, Ohio State

Out with one Ohio State center, in with another.

Josh Myers, a second-round pick from 2020, is set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason.

After earning the starting spot as a rookie, Myers has started 56 games, but his performance has steadily declined over the last three seasons.

Green Bay never brought in significant competition for the position, and it showed. According to Pro Football Focus, Myers was one of the worst centers in the NFL last season.

Now, the Packers face a decision on how to move forward.

They could either sign a starting center through free agency or shift one of their current linemen—Elgton Jenkins, Sean Rhyan, or Zach Tom—into the role. However, in the long run, they need to find a developmental prospect who can eventually take over.

That could be Seth McLaughlin.

McLaughlin is a late-round gamble on potential, but there’s a degree of risk.

He tore his Achilles in November, meaning he likely won’t be ready until mid-to-late 2025. However, if the Packers address the position through free agency or internal moves, they can afford to wait for McLaughlin’s recovery.

In 10 games with Ohio State, McLaughlin was exceptional. He allowed only one quarterback hit and no sacks, demonstrating his ability to be a reliable pass protector.

If he returns to full health, he has the potential to develop into a starting-caliber center, making him a worthwhile investment at this stage in the draft.

Round 7, No. 251 Overall: Roc Taylor, WR, Memphis

Finally, a wide receiver!

In all honesty, if the right receiver isn’t available in the first two or three rounds, the Packers should likely hold off on selecting one until the very end of the draft—or perhaps not take one at all.

Green Bay doesn’t need more bodies in the wide receiver room. Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Malik Heath are all signed through 2025, and Bo Melton is an exclusive rights free agent, meaning he’ll probably return.

This is already a deep, young receiving group, so any new addition must offer something unique.

Additionally, the Packers have plenty of options in free agency or trade. If they want to make a big move, Tee Higgins is the top wide receiver available, and Gutekunst could look into trading for players like Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, Deebo Samuel, or D.K. Metcalf.

That being said, Roc Taylor could be an intriguing late-round pick who brings a legitimate deep-threat element to Green Bay’s offense.

Without Watson, the Packers lack a reliable field-stretching receiver, and that’s exactly Taylor’s strength.

According to Pro Football Focus, he caught 14 deep passes last season, tied for 10th in the nation. He averaged an impressive 15.9 yards per reception in 2023 and 14.2 yards per catch in 2024. Over his last two seasons, he accumulated 135 receptions for 2,037 yards, showing he can be a big-play threat.

As a seventh-round pick, Taylor wouldn’t be expected to make an immediate impact, but he has the raw talent and potential to develop into a valuable long-term project.
