The 2025 NFL Draft is hours away. The Packers are scheduled to pick 23rd in the first round of the just outside Lambeau Field.
There are needs at wide receiver, the defensive backfield and other areas of the team that need to be addressed.
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst has eight picks but could make some deals to obtain more draft picks.
Round one of the draft begins tonight at 7:00. The Tennessee Titans have the first overall pick and are expected to take Miami quarterback Cam Ward. Colorado’s two-way star, Travis Hunter, and quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Penn State’s Abdul Carter, Michigan’s Mason Graham and LSU’s Will Campbell are all expected to be selected early. There’s also a bit of a running back renaissance in the NFL these days, with teams eyeing Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty and North Carolina’s Omarion Hampton in the first round.
Ward has tried to solidify his status as the top pick over the last few months, working out for all 32 NFL teams at Miami’s on-campus pro day.
Round one of the draft begins tonight at 7:00. Rounds two and three will be held Friday and rounds four through seven conclude the draft on Saturday.
