Packers' Late-Round Draft Strategy

About this episode

The Packers, without a first-round pick, are projected to focus on trenches, corners, and edges in the 2026 NFL Draft. In the first simulation, they select Iowa guard Gennings Dunker and Ohio State corner Davison Igbinosun. The second simulation sees them prioritize corners, picking Igbinosun early and Alabama edge LT Overton later. The third simulation involves trades, with the Packers acquiring Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor and Central Florida edge Malachi Lawrence. These simulations suggest the Packers aiming to build depth and potentially find late-round gems.

0:00It's March 31st. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. Packers got no first round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, set for April 23rd through 25th in Pittsburgh, so mock draft Skibb and Merley. But Sims from Pro Football Network run all seven rounds, spitting out talent for Green Bay in the second and beyond, assuming no trades up top. First Sim grabs Iowa Guard Ginnings Dunker at 52, a mullet rock-and-starter, then Ohio State cornered Davis and Inc. Bino Sun at 84, a tall. Press man with starts galore. They add Clemson Tackle, Tristan Lee, Michigan, edge Josh John Barnum, via Raiders trade, Alabama tight-in Josh Cuevas, and Tennessee Edge Tire West. Second Sim flips it, Snaggan Igbenison, early at 52 for corner need, Alabama Edge, LT Overton at 84, a former first round. Projection plus Speedy Mississippi State receiver Brennan Thompson. They trade up for Miami Tackle Markle Bell in Snag Utah Linebacker, Lander Barton Deep.

1:09Third ones wild with trades, ship second-rounder to Pats for future picks, then grab Arizona State Tackle, Max Ihanakor at 55, after Chargers. Deal, Sinchaforta Edge, Malachai Lawrence, Steven F. Austin Corner, Charlie Demings via Jet Swap, and teammate Nigelie Kelly Layton. These runs highlight Packers target in trenches, corners, and edges to build depth, mixing trades for value. As the real draft nears, Green Bay's late-round game could drop gems and keep the Pack Hunt in titles.
