Following a disappointing loss in the Wild Card round against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Green Bay Packers’ offseason has begun. With that, Green Bay must make necessary roster cuts, sign their missing pieces in free agency, and prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft. Given this part of the offseason, Packers fans are putting on the general manager hats, dusting off the ol’ laptops, and creating their best-case mock drafts, using tools like the PFN Mock Draft Simulator.
And in their playoff loss against the Eagles, the Packers’ draft needs became a bit clearer — if they weren’t already clear.
Even though injuries played a large point in that game, Green Bay was flat-out beaten by Philly, exposing parts of this team that must get fixed in the offseason.
In free agency, the Packers could sign a couple of pass-catchers, fixing their self-acclaimed need for a No. 1 receiver.
But — regarding the 2025 NFL Draft — here’s what the Packers are working with.
Considering Jaire Alexander’s lingering injury issues, the Packers could pick up a pairing partner — or replacement if Green Bay chooses to move on from Alexander in the offseason — with their first-round pick.
With the talent likely to remain at their pick in the draft, a few prospects could scratch their itch at cornerback, aligning with proper draft value.
Along with cornerback, the Packers have needs at edge rusher, receiver, defensive tackle, and center, according to the PFN Mock Draft Simulator — which made the picks for this mock draft.
Since that tool allows for trading, it gives a more realistic opportunity to go through a mock draft, making for more likely results. It isn’t a perfect tool, as predicting the NFL Draft is difficult. But — with more and more mock drafts getting completed by at-home general managers based on their own research — it’s an interesting tool to utilize during the dark days of the NFL offseason.
Although the simulator didn’t predict a trade-up — or trade-down — there was one significant transaction between the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears. Moving up to the 10th pick, the Broncos traded up with the Bears, drafting Boise State star Ashton Jeanty.
But, with Green Bay as the focus of this mock draft simulation, who was their first-round selection?
The PFN Mock Draft Simulator (with trades) is a tool for fans to put themselves in the seat of a general manager for an NFL franchise during the NFL Draft. This tool compiles data from PFN’s NFL Draft big board and user-submitted mock drafts to give fans an idea of where prospects could land in the actual draft. A computer simulation made these picks and trades.
With the 23rd pick in the 2025 NFL [mock] Draft, the Packers got their cornerback, nabbing the third — or fourth, based on the position Travis Hunter plays — cornerback...
