Packers Eyeing Big Safety for Draft

The Green Bay Packers look stacked as safety, with guys like Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, Javon Bullard, and Kite Nolidapo, so you would not think. They need to touch the position in the 2026 NFL Draft. But General Manager Brian Gutekunst is dropping hints they might add another body, specifically a bigger one for those big nickel packages. They have hosted three safety prospects on 30 visits, including two heavyweights, AJ, Halsey from LSU and Jacob Thomas from James Madison, both tipping the scales at 215 pounds, right in the 90th percentile for the spot. This screams they want a safety who can mix it up in the box, like Seattle's 220-pound Nick Eman-Wary did for their Super Bowl run. Fans and analysts are buzzing because teams love copying winning trends, and Green Bay's nickel guy Bullard is under 200 pounds while Oledapo, at 6 foot 2, 216 pounds has slot

Other fits are out there too, like Jalon Kilgore, at 6 foot 1, 210 pounds with slot heavy snaps or Miami's to Kobe Thomas matching. Oledapo's build plus bigger bodies like Texas Tech's 6 foot 3 Cole Wisniski. They could even pivot to linebackers like Pits Kyle Lewis or LSU's Harold Perkins for versatile coverage skills. With so many options across sizes and snaps, from box to slot to free safety, the Packers have plenty of chances to bulk up that secondary if gutacunst. Holes the trigger, ComDraftNay.
