Packers Mock Draft: Beefing Up Defense

About this episode

In this mock draft, the Green Bay Packers address their defensive needs early, selecting Domonique Orange, a dominant defensive tackle from Iowa State, at pick 52, and Devin Moore, a talented cornerback from Florida, at pick 84. Oranges size, strength, and quick get-off power make him an ideal anchor for the defensive line, while Moores length and speed could disrupt passing lanes despite his injury history. This strategy allows the Packers to focus on offensive line help in later rounds.

0:00On April 7th, the 2026 NFL draft sits just 16 days out and in my 6th mock of the cycle, I'm eyeing how the Green Bay Packers could beef up their defense early. They snagged Dominique Orange that big defensive tackle from Iowa State at the 52nd spot overall. Then at 84th, they grabbed Devin Moore, the corner from Florida, straight up addressing their top holes on the D line and in the secondary. Orange brings massive size at 6.2, 322 pounds, with long arms to dominate the middle. He plugs, run lanes, blast gaps, and racks up pressures, 45 over 3 years, with quick get off power to disrupt the pocket. Packers fans know the defense needs reinforcements bad, and these picks slide right into the rotation day one. Orange is a sure thing to anchor things, while Moore's length and smooth speed jam passing lanes, even if his injury history raises eyebrows among, scouts like Brian Gutekunst, the gamble on Moore pays off if his medicals check out.

1:03He's got top 75 upside with that frame and burst. Hitting these knees early lets Green Bay pivot to offensive mind help on day three, maybe doubling down on corners or tackles too. With the real draft heating up, this mock sets a strong tone. Keep it locked for my next one going four rounds deep. Football news powered by AI. This is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with the story.
