Why

The main urgency is at cornerback; the current group led by Keisean Nixon lacks a top-tier player to solidify the secondary. The pass-rusher rotation to support Lukas Van Ness is very thin, and the offense requires another reliable receiver. Finally, depth at the offensive tackle position is also a concern.

Track record read

Brian Gutekunst in Green Bay operates with a clear philosophy: if a Georgia defensive player is available, they take him. However, his approach extends beyond that. He consistently invests in high-upside athletes, particularly in the front seven and secondary, while on offense, he prioritizes dynamic weapons or versatile tackles with potential. There's a tendency to target talent from power conferences like the SEC and Big Ten, though he also shows a willingness to bet on 'small schoolers' if the fit is right, as seen with Watson or Morgan.

The board · Rounds 1–7

Three names per every pick.

Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.

First round

3 names

EDGE#15 · T2

Matayo Uiagalelei

Oregon

EDGE

Brings that missing power rush the Packers need. If he improves bend and counters, this guy has instant starter upside.

S#18 · T2

KJ Bolden

Georgia

Brings that range deep safety we need in the backfield. High floor with the tackling, but ball production will take time.

View profile

OT#9 · T1

Trevor Goosby

Texas

The LT anchor they need now, with elite feet for their zone scheme. Sky-high ceiling, but his pass pro base raises flags.

Second round

3 names

EDGE#26 · T2

Damon Wilson II

Miami

EDGE

He brings that instant pop the EDGE rotation desperately needs. High ceiling if he develops hand usage, but the floor is a good pass rusher right away.
