The Green Bay Packers usually don’t leave this many puzzles hanging into April. The pass rush looks thinner than it should. Rashan Gary is in Dallas. Kingsley Enagbare is gone. And Micah Parsons is recovering from a torn ACL, with no clear timeline yet on when he will be fully back. So, instead of one obvious fix, there are a few areas that need notice.
The puzzling part, though, is that they don’t have a first-round pick, as that went to the Cowboys.
What Fan Mock Drafts Reveal About the Packers’ Needs
If you look at how Packers fans are using PFSN’s mock draft simulator, they are not accepting not having a first-round pick as the end of the tale. If they trade back into the first round, there is a clear pattern to what they want the team to pursue.
The cornerback position leads at 27.6%. After that, it’s offensive tackle at 17.4%, edge rusher at 15.3%, and defensive tackle at 12.1%.
So, the board isn’t random. There is a clear sense of where help is needed. The names follow that same pattern.
Kayden McDonald shows up the most at 8%. Then it’s Colton Hood at 7%, Jeremiyah Love at 6.1%, and Mansoor Delane at 5.1%. Chris Johnson and Avieon Terrell are both at 4.5%, followed by David Bailey at 4.2%, Jermod McCoy at 3.8%, Caleb Lomu at 3.6%, and Francis Mauigoa at 3.4%.
It is a meld of positions, but the corner and the front still come up the most.
McDonald (86.14 PFSN grade, DT1 position rank) is among the more straightforward fits. He is 6-foot-3 and 326 pounds, built to hold the middle. He can take on double teams, hold his ground, and help settle things against the run.
Hood (85.64 grade, CB5) would be a different kind of addition. He is quick, reacts well, and looks comfortable in space. When he was given more snaps in 2025, he handled it well and made plays on the ball.
Delane (89.88 grade, CB1) is steady in coverage and does not give much away. Terrell (88.46 grade, CB3) moves around more and has a way of finding the ball, which shows up in turnovers.
McCoy (89.07 grade, CB2), if healthy, might have the most natural ability of the group. Johnson (84.49 grade, CB8) adds range and instincts, especially in space.
Then there is Love’s scouting profile (90.37 grade, RB1). He is not a direct need, but the situation at running back in Green Bay explains some of that.

Josh Jacobs is getting older, and MarShawn Lloyd hasn’t been consistently available. Love gives them speed, vision, and another option in the passing game.
On the offensive line, Lomu (88.65 grade, OT2) and Mauigoa (88.91 grade, OT1) are the main options. Lomu brings flexibility and control in pass protection, while Mauigoa has size and strength with a more stable anchor. Both would help settle things after Elgton Jenkins and Rasheed Walker left.
Bailey (88.76 grade, EDGE2) could be used as a rotational piece with upside, given his production on later downs.
