The Green Bay Packers might be making a decide within the second spherical of the 2026 NFL draft in three weeks’ time. How does an all-Georgia Day 2 sound for Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur?
In our newest seven-round mock draft run by at PFF, the Packers crammed evident roster holes at defensive sort out and cornerback by dipping again into the Georgia pipeline and grabbing two glorious suits. Later within the draft, the Packers discovered a high-upside backup quarterback to develop within the wake of Malik Willis’ departure.
Here’s how the mock draft performed out for the Packers:
Christian Miller did not do any pre-draft testing and may need an damage query mark coming into the draft, however the Georgia defensive sort out falling to No. 52 is one among a few best-case however sensible choices within the second spherical. Miller is a versatile inside defender who may present a terrific long-term resolution at nostril sort out within the odd entrance. The 321-pounder remains to be solely 21 and coming off a dominant closing season at Georgia.
Daylen Everette addresses the necessity at cornerback within the third spherical. A 3-year starter at Georgia, Everette has the perfect mixture of dimension, athleticism and expertise for enjoying on the perimeter on the subsequent degree. He can run (4.38), has size and is sturdy. This is a good match for the Packers within the third spherical — Everette supplies a potential future starter at an vital spot.
Trey Zuhn III is a Packer by and by. Left sort out expertise. Versatility to maneuver inside. Elite pass-blocker. Good athlete. He checks a lot of containers, very like Zach Tom popping out of Wake Forest. His middle potential would give the Packers a backup plan if the Sean Rhyan experiment does not work out.
Here’s the place the mock will get a little wild. What if Taylen Green falls to the fifth spherical? The Arkansas quarterback is a really elite athlete with big-time dimension and beginning expertise. He’s not a good substitute for Malik Willis, however he has the identical dual-threat capability and huge arm that would supply the high-upside potential price growing behind Jordan Love. A quarterback right here is a little bit of a luxurious, however getting one with Green’s expertise is a gamble price taking.
Logan Taylor performed throughout Boston College’s offensive line and would give the Packers one other athletic, versatile choice up entrance on offense. I see good worth right here within the sixth spherical. He’s a robust, skilled blocker who will possible transfer inside to protect but in addition present sort out flexibility. I like the concept of Taylor to Green Bay, actually at any level on Day 3.
The run on offense continues with Anthony Smith, a pre-draft customer with the Packers who checks a lot of containers at large receiver. Good dimension, elite velocity. Think vertical risk with run-after-catch potential.
Chip Trayanum, an Ohio State switch, suits the mildew of a Packers operating again. He checks containers for dimension and athleticism, and he is coming off a 1,000-yard season at Toledo. Trayanum supplies an NFL-ready insurance coverage coverage ought to accidents proceed to plague MarShawn Lloyd.
Overall ideas: Starting the draft with Miller and Everette may present a terrific DL-CB combo on Day 2, and Zuhn is such a basic Packers OL decide. But I did not love occurring a run of offensive gamers on Day 3, and not getting an edge rusher is a huge blemish on the category. The Packers defensive entrance most likely wanted extra depth than this seven-player class supplied.
