I tried to tell him. But NOOOOO. 🤣

Whoops, my bad. Didn't catch that.

But that just means more Mock Drafts 😎

I wanted to go DT more, but again, like this year, they just didn't fall, maybe have to sign someone in FA, like maybe Lions DT Levi Onwuzurike, after they just re-signed another DT to an expensive contract and drafted another in the 1st round.

Having a bad week, so just doing a mock to distract myself.

Switching the Packers to 32 (and the teams without a 1st to their correct spots) gets annoying, so I just let PFF set the order even though as we have already established, PFF order is wrong.

 pff_mock_results - 2025-05-23T171840.713.png You have insufficient rights to see the content.

1) CB Harris
No, he's not related to Al Harris (as far as I can tell), but he's fast, strong and physically like Al with has good speed to go with it. To be our long term #1 CB going forward.

2) DT Banks
Need to work on his endurance, as when he gets tired his techquie gets lazy, including pad level high, but at his best, he's a surprisingly athletic 6'5" 325lb which great short area quickness and and power.

3) LT Tierman
Very large, 6'6" 330lbs, LT for Notre Dame with gold quick feet for his size. Probably won't actually fall this far.

4) LT Smith
6'4" 310lb, LT for Indiana, which one of the best OL in college last year, and Smith gives his QB lots of time in the pocket with good pass protection and clearly he's being the leader with high expectations for the OL this year again.

4) DT Marshall
Under weight DT at 6'3", 290lbs, but a penetrator who wasn't doubled teamed a lot (as he was rarely in the A gap) but won a very good percentage of the pass rush plays when he was doubled. He also played over 100 snaps at DE showing versatility.

4) TE Kitselman
6'5", 255lb TE that was a highschool OT/DE before being converted to a TE in Community College. GREAT physical blocking TE that help them lead in rushing, but he also has not dropped a single pass in his entire college career (yet). He's not the most athletic, and don't expect him to go deep, but he also effect in a traditional TE roles in the passing game as well.

5) Might as well group these "CB"s together, but note, they're clearly different styles.
- Outside CB Igbinosun
- Slot / Dime/ SS Kilgore
- Slot / CB Scott

CB Igbinosun
Explosive, long strider, which makes him an outside only CB, allegedly ran a 4.34 in the 40 (but while fast, he doesn't consistently play that fast, but still fast). With an overly physical style of play, which is good to be physically, BUT he also drew the most penalize DB in all of college football. If he can play smarter, then he potentially could rise a lot.

Slot/Dime/SS Kilgore
Primary playing amin the slot, PFF has listed 6'1" 220 Kilgore as a CB. In the last two years he's played 885 snaps in the slot, 384 in the box (Dime LB), 229 as a deep Safety, 26 at the DL, and only 20 as an outside CB. Kilgore is an elite run defender, and enforcer, but while he has great physical potential in coverage, all the moving around might have stunted his growth a bit and he still needs help in some the technical aspect of coverage, but he has the physical potential. As basically a LB/S tweener, he should be in high demand for the coverage units on STs.

Slot/CB Scott
5'11" 190", Primary a slot CB but also has a decent number of snaps as an outside CB. Scott doesn't have the best speed, but he's a master technician seemingly having a quick mental and physical processor and surprisingly physically for his smaller size, plays bigger than his numbers. Scott also plays on most ST units already and should be able to help with those in the pros.


5) QB Mateer
29 TDs to 7 INTs with 64% completion rating and over 3,000 yards. Duel threat QB that has numbers similar to size/speed to Malik Willis, 6'1", 220 lbs, expected 40 speed in the 4.5.

Though he's been tabbed by Dan Orlovsky as this year's QB to take a huge jump up the draft board, like he correctly picked Jackson Dart.

Mateer was a backup behind Cam Ward, until Ward transfered to Miami in 2024, and Ward was the #1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Mateer is also transferring in 2025, following his offensive coordinator/QB coach from Washington State to Oklahoma.

The biggest knock on Mateer so far, is that he was a backup when Washington State was in the Pac 12, then the Pac 12 broke up, he became a starter against a weaker independent schedule. And looks like their team (especially the defense) got absolutely blown out in the two games they faced a ranked opponent.

Started with pick #32

1) Traded up because physical bump and run CB Harris dropped further than I expected.

2) Luck of having one of the better DTs fall to us in the 2nd round.

4a) Tried to do a trade back and still grab one of the OTs, but it didn't work out, so trade back again and doubled up on CB.

4b) Got a quality LT prospect, I don't know about Center, but he can play the other four positions.

4c) Speaking of Centers, we got one that meets Gute's OL height requirements. Also, he was teammates with Zuhn who was taken with 4b until he transfered away from Texas A&M this year.

This is probably going to be more favorite one for a while, wish I could of gotten more DL help, but maybe we could grab some in FA.

Assuming they re-sign Tom, the OL with this draft should be set for a number of years.

1) C Slaughter
Trade up and get the best Center prospect in years, I'll let PFF write up explain it. But he's only got the size and skills to play any of the three interior positions.


2) DT Miller
One of the Packers favorite schools for linemen, I think in part because their scheme makes the DL do the dirty work, so that you know they're willing and able to do it. What sets Miller apart is his versatility, he certainly has the power to run clog, but also has very good quickness to get off the ball fast. Since Georgia makes them do more of the dirty work, Miller, like a lot of the Georgia DL needs to work on pass rush moves, but he's got great potential to get better.

4) LT Casey
He's got good size 6'5" 315lb, and athleticism, giving up zero sacks last year, one hit and only 5 pressures for the entire year. Two concerns to have, and maybe the only reasons he drops this far, is the team has helped them by being a run first team, running the ball more often than passing it, but also due to small school going against mostly weaker competition... but he's shown up great when he's fasted the big schools too, so he's probably going in the top 3 rounds, but if he falls a bit, grab him!

4) TE Kitselman
Highschool OT that has developed into an all around 6'5" 255lb TE in the SEC. While he'll never be known for speed, he will be an elite blocking TE, that so far has not dropped a single pass in a college game, and can be used in the underneath game extremely well.

4) LT Zuhn
SEC LT, large 6'6" 315 lb, he has most of the physical tools but he needs to become more consistent with them. He might not have the elite quickness for elite zone, but Packers have moved to a power run style in recent years.

4) LB Styles
Originally Styles was an oversized Safety, but they have since moved the 6'4" 235lb Styles to LB, where he's still learning some of the run gap fills and getting off blocks of the LB position, but also showing elite coverage skills for the LB role.

5) CB Everette
Will have to see if Hafley changes the coverage this year, but last year, he most ran different versions of the Cover 2 and Cover 3 zone, which I believe will fit Everette well. Everette has good quickness with playing the ball in front of him, but doesn't have the best mirror matching skills which will limit him in man coverage. Everette has the physical potential to be a good press zone CB, but he needs improvement his press technique, the physical tools are there, but he needs to develop it more.
