Green Bay Packers NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

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.

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.

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.

McCoy (6-0, 193 pounds) boasts the second-highest coverage grade among returning Power 4 corners, allowing a dirt-low 15.8 QBR and 1.06 yards per coverage snap. It was a surprise when the Packers took a WR (Matthew Golden) in the first round for the first time in two decades. They now strengthen their secondary in order to deal with the fleet of talented wideouts in Minnesota, Chicago, and Detroit.

The Packers loaded up on offensive weapons during their hometown draft, but would be wise to return to the well if Love is around for their next first-round pick. The Fighting Irish star is a threat to take it to the house on every run and could be an extremely dangerous weapon in Green Bay's scheme, given his ability on all three downs.

Jaire Alexander might not be in Green Bay much longer, but Terrell — the younger brother of Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell, reminds me a lot of Alexander. He's undersized but an easy mover with natural cover instincts.

Perhaps Day 3 picks Rasheed Walker and Zach Tom continue to defy draft-day expectations and provide the Packers with quality blocking at left and right tackle, respectively. If not, Casey is the smooth pass-blocker capable of replacing either. He didn't allow a single sack a year ago (in 466 pass-blocking snaps), according to PFF — and that included the Fiesta Bowl against Abdul Carter and Penn State.

If the Packers were willing to break from precedent in selecting wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round on Thursday, why not once more next year? At 6-0 and 178 pounds, Muhammad is significantly lighter than the cornerbacks who typically catch Green Bay's eye. But if he can bulk up and cut down on some of the deep meltdowns that have marred his otherwise stellar play, the instinctive cornerback could follow former Texas teammate Jahdae Barron into a spot on Day 1.
