The Green Bay Packers sat out the first round but are now set to make picks at No. 52 overall and No. 84 overall on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL draft. Packers Wire ran through a few mock draft scenarios at the end of the first round on Thursday night, but here's who the Packers are getting in national Day 2 mock drafts dropping Friday:Matt Miller, ESPNSecond round, No. 52: LB Anthony Hill, Jr., TexasThird round, No. 84: CB Julian Neal, ArkansasMiller on Hill: "Finding fast, rangy linebackers who can also affect the game as a pass rusher is rare, but Hill is available in Round 2 after teams were uncertain about his run-game instincts.
All he did in the past three seasons was fill up the box score with 17 sacks, eight forced fumbles and three interceptions."Takeaway: Neal is a great fit at corner, and it's possible the board will fall in a way that elevates an off-ball linebacker to the top, but with Zaire Franklin, Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie, linebacker is not a big need in Green Bay.Nick Baumgardner, The AthleticSecond round, No. 52: CB Treydan Stukes, ArizonaThird round, No. 84: OT Markel Bell, MiamiBaumgardner on Stukes: "Stukes (6-1, 193) can absolutely fly. He ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash (and posted a 10-foot, 10-inch broad jump) at the combine, and he was all over the ball at Arizona (29 pass breakups, seven picks)."Takeaway: Can Stukes play on the perimeter?
The Packers are set in the slot and at safety. Depth at offensive tackle is required, but Bell is 6-9, didn't test well pre-draft and lacks the versatility the Packers like in offensive line picks. Trevor Sikkema, NFL Stock ExchangeSecond round, No. 52: CB Brandon Cisse, South CarolinaThird round, No. 84: OL Billy Schrauth, Notre DameSikkema on Cisse: "Cisse gives you the movement skills and athleticism to play outside corner."Takeaway: Cisse would represent good "value," relative to the consensus board, at a premium need position.
Schrauth is talented, but he only played guard and has injury concerns. Josh Edwards, CBS SportsSecond round, No. 52: DL Domonique Orange, Iowa StateThird round, No. 84: WR Skyler Bell, UConnEdwards on Orange: "Green Bay adds a stout interior defender to the equation. He will bottle up the middle and allow Micah Parsons to make more plays in the backfield.Takeaway: Orange would solve a big problem in the middle of the Packers' defense, but is it too soon at 52?
Bell looks like a slot receiver; the Packers have Jayden Reed.Jacob Camenker, USA TodaySecond round, No. 52: CB Brandon Cisse, South CarolinaCamenker on Cisse: "The Packers should consider investing in a true, No. 2 cornerback to play across from Keisean Nixon. Cisse is an elite athlete and allowed just 18 catches on 38 targets in his lone season at South Carolina. He’s scheme-versatile but will need to sharpen his route recognition to live up to his full potential."Bradley Locker, PFFSecond round, No. 52: CB Brandon Cisse, South CarolinaLocker on Cisse: With their first pick in 2026, the Packers are oriented to select a cornerback given that both Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine are on effective one-year contracts.
Cisse’s physicality and ball skills, especially in zone — where he earned a 72.1 PFF coverage grade in 2025 — make him an ideal fit.Daniel Flick, SISecond round, No. 52: Edge rusher Derrick Moore, MichiganThird round, No. 84: OL Billy Schrauth, Notre DameFlick on Moore: "The Packers are expected to tap into the edge market, and Moore is a rock-solid option. He’s physical, consistent and a ready-made run defender with enough pass-rush flashes to eventually become a three-down player."Takeaway: Moore looks the part on the edge, and he's coming off a 10-sack season at Michigan. His lack of pre-draft testing provides an uncertain athleticism profile. This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: Who are the Packers getting in Day 2 mock drafts?
