Michigan’s Will Johnson is still available for teams to draft, bu he’s slipping due to concerns over his knee

One round of the 2025 NFL Draft  is behind us, but there’s plenty of talent still left on the board. Overall, the belief is that the most valuable picks, from a talent versus cost standpoint, will come on Day 2 through the early fourth round of this draft.


So, who is still out there? I’m glad you asked. Arif Hasan compiled 112 draft boards to make his consensus draft board , which we’ll be following for the rest of the draft. According to that consensus board, the table below shows the available top-100 players who have yet to be selected and their ranking on the board coming into the draft.







At the top are two players who have very different question marks. The first is Will Johnson, who was projected to be a top-five pick coming into the year but is falling due to the long-term injury concerns regarding his knee. Johnson also suffered a turf toe injury, which kept him off of the field for half of his final season at Michigan, and a hamstring issue, which prevented him from running at either the combine, his pro day or his private workout. To say the least, there are concerns about how his body will hold up at the next level and for how long.


The other top-20 prospect still available is Marshall pass-rusher Mike Green, who was accused of sexual assault in high school and at his first stop at the college level at Virginia. At the combine, Green stated that no charges were ever brought his way, and that he was never even questioned by authorities on the matter.


Before the draft, when I asked agent sources, members of the league and connected members of the draft media if the allegations against Green would hurt him on draft day, I was told that they would not, the same response I got for Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston — who has a similar incident in his background. While it didn’t matter for Hairston, who was picked in the first round by the Buffalo Bills , it apparently is a factor for Green, who probably is the second-best pure pass-rusher in the class behind Penn State’s Abdul Carter. Carter went third overall, and Green is still on the board going into Day 2. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on here.




Beyond just the overall board, let’s look at a couple of positions of need for the Green Bay Packers  following the selection of Texas receiver Matthew Golden : defensive end, defensive tackle and cornerback.


Defensive End




#17: Mike Green, Marshall


#32: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College


#37: Nic Scourton, Texas A&M 



#51: Landon Jackson, Arkansas


#53: TJ Tuimoloau, Ohio State 



#64: Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss 



#65: Jack Sawyer, Ohio State


#68: Bradyn Swinson, LSU 



#71: Jordan Burch, Oregon (Packers visitor)


#81: Oluwafemi Oladejo, UCLA


#87: Josaiah Stewart, Michigan


#93: Kyle Kennard, South Carolina


#95: Ashton Gillotte, Louisville




There are a lot of bodies still left at the edge rusher position. Beyond Green, who we already touched on, Donovan Ezeiruaku, who Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley coached for several years in college, and Nic Scourton, who had a down 2024 after breaking out in 2023, are options. A notable name to keep an eye on here is Oregon’s Jordan Burch, as he was brought in on a pre-draft visit to Green Bay. The Packers like to draft their visitors, which they already did in 2025 with Golden. Burch has an interior rush element to his game that Green Bay’s current defensive ends lack.


Defensive Tackle




#52: Darius Alexander, Toledo


#57: T.J. Sanders, South Carolina (Packers visitor)


#61: Alfred Collins, Texas


#80: Shemar Turner, Texas A&M


#88: Omarr Norman-Lott, Tennessee


#89: Joshua Farmer, Florida State 





Honestly, defensive tackles went faster than expected on Day 1. I’m not sure how many people thought that Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant and Walter Nolen were all going to come off of the board in the first half of the first round. On top of that, Oregon’s Derrick Harmon didn’t slip, which was rumored, and Ohio State’s Tyleik Williams beat the odds to become a first-round selection. The Packers are probably more in the nose tackle market than the three-technique market, considering that Brian Gutekunst stated that he wants to re-sign Devonte Wyatt , but South Carolina’s T.J. Sanders is an interesting three-technique defensive tackle nonetheless. Sanders played in a hyper-aggressive scheme that often featured him as a stunter and twister. He’s a great athlete, but he’s not exactly a player who can replace the snaps that the team lost in T.J. Slaton in free agency.


Cornerback




#9: Will Johnson, Michigan


#35: Shavon Revel Jr., East Carolina (Packers visitor)


#38: Trey Amos, Ole Miss (Packers visitor)


#42: Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame 



#46: Azareye’h Thomas, Florida State


#69: Darien Porter, Iowa State 



#83: Jacob Parrish, Kansas State 





The cornerbacks that are good are hurt. That’s the story of the cornerbacks on Day 2. Johnson (knee/hamstring/toe), Shavon Revel (ACL) and Benjamin Morrison (hip) all finished their final college season injured and have been unable to test for teams this offseason. The only clean prospect here is Trey Amos of Ole Miss, who the Packers brought in on a pre-draft visit. Beyond Amos, Azareye’h Thomas ran a 4.60-second 40-yard dash , Darien Porter was more of a special-teams ace at Iowa State than a starting cornerback and Jacob Parrish is under 5’10”. The crop that is left isn’t great, unless the Packers have cleared some of the top cornerbacks’ medicals or Amos falls into their lap in the second.
