Making the playoffs and finishing second in a tougher-than-average conference sounds like a goal to some teams, doesn’t it? Well, to the Green Bay Packers, another fruitless playoff appearance doesn’t mean squat.
The first several weeks showed major postseason promise with guys like Tucker Kraft and Micah Parsons playing lights out. Jordan Love was teetering in MVP talk. That was until the two aforementioned, Kraft and Parsons, tore their ACLs and missed the remainder of the season; thus shattering the hopes of cheesehead nation and prompting a high Google search for “Can I donate my ACL?”

Green Bay Packers 2026 7 Round NFL Mock Draft
2-52: Domonique Orange, DL, Iowa State
Affectionately referred to as Big Citrus, Mr. Orange would be a fantastic complement to guys like Devonte Wyatt and LVN. The ability to create pocket collapses at the apex of the line would allow teammates like Parsons to really go crazy. He is my official draft crush and a favorite beach drink of mine: the Orange Crush.
3-84: Davison Igbinosun, CB, Ohio State
A guy who needs to develop, but has all the physical tools? Say no more, fam. Gutekunst already has Igbinosun’s jersey hanging in the locker room.
4-120: Billy Schrauth, iOL, Notre Dame
Not only is he a Wisconsin native, but his name is Billy Schrauth. Green Bay’s interior O-line is average at best, and the Notre Dame alum could be the answer should our middle of the line crumble down the road.
REST OF THE PICKS
5-160:Tacario Davis, CB, Washington
6-201: Demond Claiborne, RB, Wake Forest
7-236: Ar’maj Reed-Adams, iOL, Texas A&M
7-255: Tyreak Sapp, EDGE, Florida
Green Bay Packers 2026 7 Round NFL Mock Draft Analysis
It’s no surprise that the Packers are starved for depth in a few key areas. Namely, the corner room and the offensive line. It doesn’t hurt to replenish a bellcow on the ground (with Lloyd’s health and existence in question) and also kick off the draft with a stud run-stuffer. A few key pieces to add to Gannon’s defense don’t upset me.
