Packers' 2026 Draft: Eight Picks, No First-Rounder

0:00On April 22nd, Packer's heading into the 2026 NFL Draft with eight solid picks, but no first rounder after flipping that selection now. Number 20 overall, to the Cowboys last August for star-edged rusher Micah Parsons. They kick off at number 52 in the second round, holding their own originals from rounds two through seven, plus extras like a fifth from Philly. In the Dante Vianne Wicks deal, in a compensatory seventh for losing some free agents. That means no action on day one, Thursday night. But they hit the board Friday with picks 52 in 84, then load up Saturday with the rest 120, 153 from Philly, 160, 201, 236, and 255 comp. They're one of six teams sitting out round one alongside Bengals, Colts, Falcons, Jags, and Broncos. Only Jags at 56 and Broncos at 62. Wait longer to pick. Draft Capital has them 27th per tankathon, but with eight picks, just 12 teams have more, Steelers top at 12, while Champs Seahawks.

This drafts in Pittsburgh, starting Thursday, April 23rd, rounds two through Friday, the 24th, and wrapping rounds four through seven. Saturday, the 25th, 257, picks total. Packers stay patient early, banking on Parsons boosting their wind total while stacking death later. Keeps the draft buzz alive without the prime time. Spotlight. Football news, powered by AI.
