Packers Scout Deep Without Top Pick | NFL News

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst is already scouting top college programs like Texas, LSU, and Clemson ahead of the 2027 NFL Draft—even though Green Bay doesn’t hold a first-round pick. That pick was traded for Micah Parsons in 2025, but Gutekunst’s focus on late-round gems pays off: safety Evan Williams (4th round, 2024) is a breakout star with 100 tackles and 3 interceptions, while tight end Tucker Kraft (3rd round, 2023) exploded for 50 catches, 7 TDs in 2024 before an ACL tear. With a track record of finding elite talent beyond the top tier, Gutekunst’s eye on these programs could lead to another draft steal in 2027.
