Going into the 2025 NFL Draft, you could have made a credible argument that the Green Bay Packers’ three biggest needs were all on the defensive side of the ball: defensive end, defensive tackle and cornerback. If you had told fans that none of those positions would be addressed by a single pick in the top 100, I’m not sure they would have believed you.
But that’s exactly where the Packers find themselves after two days of draft choices. Instead of pushing high draft choices like Lukas Van Ness or Devonte Wyatt out of the lineup in 2025 with an early draft choice, the team instead took offensive players who are now poised to take over for expiring rookie contracts in 2026.
