We've arrived at NFL draft week, which means one last go-round for the mock-draft prognosticators, including a larger-than-usual quotient of drafts that extend though all seven rounds.That's helpful for Green Bay Packers fans, who know their team doesn't have a first-round pick when the draft gets started April 23. They will, however, have picks in the second and third round April 24.Here's a look at the names being connected to the Packers, headlined by the second-round picks at No. 52.Jordan Reid, ESPN: Dani Dennis-Sutton, edge rusher, Penn State "The Packers covet explosive defensive linemen, and Dennis-Sutton exemplifies that," Reid wrote.
"Green Bay needs depth everywhere on the defensive line, and Dennis-Sutton is a lengthy disruptor who could carve out a rotational role early."Third-round pick (No. 84): Daylen Everette, cornerback, Georgia.Dane Brugler, The Athletic: Dani Dennis-Sutton, edge rusher, Penn State Reid wasn't the only one with this idea for the Packers.The 6-foot-5, 256-pounder proved disruptive at Penn State, even if he was only third-team all-Big Ten. He forced three fumbles, finished with 8.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss, started all 13 games and even blocked three kicks, leading Division I FBS in that department.Third-round pick (No. 84): Davison Igbinosun, cornerback, Ohio StateCBS Sports: Chris Johnson, cornerback, San Diego StateIf he's still here at 52, he'd be an attractive option for a team that could use help at corner.The 6-0, 193-pounder was second-team All-American according to the Associated Press and Mountain West co-Defensive Player of the Year.
He picked off four passes and returned two for touchdowns, and he also finished with a sack, forced fumble, three tackles for loss and nine passes broken up.Third-round pick (No. 84): Keyron Crawford, edge, AuburnChad Reuter, NFL.com: Malik Muhammad, cornerback, TexasThe 6-0, 182-pounder was second-team all-SEC after making 30 tackles with a sack, two interceptions and four pass breakups.Third-round pick (No. 84): Darrell Jackson Jr., defensive tackle, Florida StateAyrton Ostley of USA Today: Gabe Jacas, edge rusher, Illinois"Micah Parsons is on the mend from his late-season ACL tear which could see him miss some time to start 2026," Ostley wrote. "With that in mind, Green Bay grabs the productive Jacas with their first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Illinois edge had 85 pressures and 20 sacks in his last two years and is rising up the board with his athleticism. At 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, he’d likely hit the size requirements for the Packers’ edge rushers."Third-round pick (No. 84): Josiah Trotter, linebacker, MissouriThis article originally appeared on Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Four players picked for Packers in second round of mock drafts
