Packers Draft: Day Three Steals to Reshape Roster

About this episode

The Green Bay Packers, with eight draft picks and seventeen open spots, aim to secure contributors and future starters in the 2026 NFL draft. Offensively, they need a draft back to replace Emanuel Wilson and a wide receiver to fill the void left by Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. The tight end position is stable but lacks long-term security, and the offensive line requires versatile interior depth.

Defensively, the Packers urgently need an edge rusher to replace Rashan Gary and Kingsley Enagbare, and a nose tackle for their new three-four scheme. Cornerback remains a draft target, and while linebackers and safeties are set, the team could still pursue a veteran quarterback for development. Special teams are secure, with a kicker competition underway.

This draft presents an opportunity for the Packers to quickly reshape their roster, with a focus on finding day three steals to fill holes and build depth.

Brian Goudacunst and Matt LaFlure see this as prime time to grab contributors and future starters after wrapping most of free agency. Offense-wise, they've got solid starters that are running back with Josh Jacobs leading, but depth is thin after losing a manual Wilson, so a draftback could step up soon. White receivers took hits with Romeo Dubs gone, and Don Tavion wicks traded, opening doors for day 2 or 3 picks, especially after pre-draft. Visits-Titan looks stable short-term with Tucker Kraft, but no one locked past next year, and the line needs versatile interior depth despite keeping 5 starters. From defense, the biggest gap scream edge-rusher after trading were Sean Garry and losing Kingsley and Agbear, freeing up young guys like Lucas Van Ness, but demanding a big draft

splash. Interior line craves a nose tackle for the new 3-4 scheme, while cornerback stays a draft target even with starters back. As Casey and Nixon and Carrington Valentine hit contract years, linebackers and safeties feel set to start the season. Underback has Jordan Love, Desmond Ritter has back a question mark, and a new futures guy in calm accord, so day 3 developmental might fit. But they could chase a vet later, special teams are locked with kicker competition brewing.
