The Green Bay Packers are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft, holding the 23rd overall pick. General Manager Brian Gutekunst aims to strengthen the roster with a Super Bowl in mind. Predictions from Packers Wire staff suggest varied targets with a focus on building the defense.

Zach Kruse advocates for defensive end Shemar Stewart, noting his elite athleticism and potential despite some concerns about college production. Brandon Carwile and Brennen Rupp both favor defensive lineman Derrick Harmon, emphasizing his versatility and strong performance metrics. Mark Oldacres supports selecting cornerback Maxwell Hairston, a player whose athleticism and production in the SEC fit the Packers' draft principles, particularly in light of upcoming changes in the cornerback position.
