The Green Bay Packers officially own the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The last time the Packers held the 23rd overall pick, the franchise selected Bryan Bulaga in the 2010 NFL Draft. As a rookie, Bulaga started at right tackle during Super Bowl XLV for the Packers.
After a disappointing end to the season, the Packers need Brian Gutekunst to put together another stellar draft class and it starts with finding an impact player in the first round.
Who could be available when the Packers are on the clock on April 24th? Let’s take an early look at the landscape.
Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
Williams is a roadblock against the run. He controls his gap and can peel off blocks to get his hands on ball carriers. The Ohio State defensive tackle has the tools to wreck the opposing team’s ground game.
Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
Scourton has an ideal frame and plays with a ton of power. He has a spin move that would make Dwight Freeney smile and will turn 21 in August. He finished his lone season at College Station with 14 tackles for loss, five sacks and 36 pressures.
Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M
The Texas A&M defensive lineman has a unique blend of power and speed. He’s listed at 6-6, 290 pounds and would bring juice to Green Bay’s pass rush. He’s a player Jeff Hafley could move up and down the defensive line.
Josh Conerly Jr, OT, Oregon
Oregon’s starting left tackle has an NFL frame and gave up one sack and nine pressures this season. He has the lateral quickness to mirror edge rushers and is a good athlete in space.
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
The Michigan State transfer has bully power to drive offensive linemen backward. Harmon is quick out of his stance and finished this past season with 11 tackles for loss, five sacks and 55 pressures. He’s stout at the point of attack, with the power to shed and toss.
Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
The Alabama transfer finished this past season with four tackles for loss, three interceptions and 13 pass deflections. Amos has an ideal frame and a track background.
Shavon Revel Jr, CB, East Carolina
The East Carolina cornerback suffered a torn ACL in September. If it wasn’t for that season-ending injury, Revel would likely have been a Top 15 pick in the upcoming draft. He’s an athletic, lanky cornerback with the tools to lock down half the field.
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Death, Taxes and Ohio State having an NFL-ready wide receiver in the NFL Draft. Brian Hartline deserves a raise. Egbuka is a detailed route runner and has sharp footwork. He’s adept at finding the open spots in zone coverage and has sticky hands. He’d quickly become Jordan Love’s best friend.
Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas
Jackson is a Gutekunst pass rusher through and through. He’s a power-packed edge rusher with an ideal frame. He’s a sledgehammer and finished this past season with 10 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and 35 pressures.
Jahdae Barron, DB, Texas
Last season Barron was one of the best slot defenders in the country. This season he’s shown that he can survive on the boundary. Barron led the SEC in interceptions (5) and added 11 pass deflections. He has the drive explosion to arrive before the pigskin and has wide receiver-like ball skills. He’s a physical downfield defender and stays balanced as a tackler.
JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Ohio State
Standing at 6-4 and weighing 270 pounds, Tuimoloau looks like he was sent from central casting. Tuimoloau rushes the quarterback with power and has heavy hands.
Kelvin Banks Jr, OL, Texas
Banks finished his career at Texas with 42 starts at left tackle to his name. Banks has good range as a run blocker and has good movement skills. Some teams may view him as a guard. Given his athleticism, age (21 in March) and potential tackle-guard versatility, Banks could be high on Green Bay’s board.
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
The Texas A&M transfer recorded 14 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and 35 pressures during his lone season at Ole Miss. He has excellent quickness and change of direction skills. Nolen has an explosive first step and could help bolster Green Bay’s interior pass rush.
