Green Bay Packers 2026 Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, we will update our Green Bay Packers Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Green Bay Packers from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks from recent NFL mock drafts for the Green Bay Packers:

EDSFootball - Kevin Hanson

24. Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

With the Packers still "trying to work through" Jaire Alexander's future with the team, targeting a cornerback here would make sense. The younger brother of Atlanta's A.J. Terrell is smaller (5'10", 180 pounds) than his brother, but he is one of the best cover corners in the draft with oustanding speed yet isn't afraid to mix it up in run support as well.

CBS Sports - Josh Edwards

24. Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia

Admittedly, I was higher on Everette than most others before he announced his return to Athens. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, he looks the part and had three interceptions to his name in 2024. Green Bay signed Nate Hobbs in free agency.

ESPN - Jordan Reid

24. DJ McKinney, CB, Colorado

Green Bay went all-in on offense through the first two days of the 2025 draft, so outside cornerback is still on its list of needs. We don't know whether Jaire Alexander will stick with the Packers yet, too. But McKinney would boost the unit. He has a long and slender build at 6-2, 190 pounds, which allows him to excel in press coverage. Playing opposite Travis Hunter last season, he wasn't afraid to play the ball in the air, finishing with 10 pass breakups and three interceptions.

2026 NFL Draft Grades: Green Bay Packers

The 2026 NFL Draft is now in the rearview mirror, and we have compiled a consensus ranking using NFL draft grades from a variety of sites.

What draft grades have the media given to the Green Bay Packers? What are they saying about the Packers' 2026 draft haul?

ESPN - Grade: C+

The Packers did not have a first-round pick, but remember, Micah Parsons is the reason. While Parsons' first season at Lambeau ended prematurely with a torn ACL, the Packers likely don't have too many regrets about skipping Day 1, given the quality of prospects where Green Bay would have been picking and, of course, what they got back in the move.

The August 2025 trade did, however, make it that much more difficult to tackle needs, which mainly fall all around Parsons on that defense. They needed another edge rusher opposite Parsons (once he returns), and that's especially true after Rashan Gary was traded to Dallas. They needed another defensive tackle, too, though 33-year-old Javon Hargrave puts a Band-Aid on that issue in the short term. The real problem was at cornerback, though. Green Bay had to upgrade on Keisean Nixon and Carrington Vallentine, and signing Benjamin St-Juste doesn't get it all the way there. The defense managed just seven INTs (28th) and allowed opponents to complete 65.6% of their passes (22nd) last season.

Finally on the clock at No. 52, the Packers took Brandon Cisse. Save for Jermod McCoy, who clearly has some knee concerns, Cisse was the best CB available. He's quick in transition, but his awareness is pretty special. He anticipates well and doesn't have issues when he needs to turn his back to the football. He's not going to come down with a bunch of interceptions, but he closes quickly and gets his long arms in to make plays, with 12 pass breakups since 2024.

Chris McClellan and Dani Dennis-Sutton touched on those other two needs. McClellan gets interior pressure with six sacks last season, and Dennis-Sutton should be a good rotational pass rusher. There are definitely some contributors here, but the missing first-round pick hurt Green Bay's ability to find Day 1 starters.

USA Today - Grade: A-

Why this high? Because their first-round pick was used last year as part of the blockbuster acquisition of Parsons. Enough said. But if you want us to say a little more, promising second-round CB Brandon Cisse might not need much time to work his way into the starting lineup.
