The Green Bay Packers may be without a first-round pick when the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off on April 23, but with eight selections across Days 2 and 3, General Manager Brian Gutekunst has ample opportunity to find impact talent. The Packers' draft history reveals a clear blueprint: they prioritize specific physical traits, positional needs, and often target players who have visited Green Bay on a "top-30" visit. So, which prospects in this class just *feel* like future Packers?

We've identified several players who perfectly fit the mold—combining the athletic profile and potential the organization covets. With insights from draft analyst Tyler Brooke of "Best Available" and Acme Packing Company, here are prospects who could hear their name called by Green Bay.

With the 52nd overall pick in the second round, the Packers could target a classic "traits" player. Penn State edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton, a 6-foot-5, 256-pound former five-star recruit, fits the bill perfectly. He brings size, speed, college production, and explosive athleticism. "He's a big-fast [guy], and the Packers love those edges. They just can't help themselves," Brooke noted. "If he's there at 52, I don't think they think twice. He screams 'Packers edge' as much as you're gonna get."

Shifting to the trenches, the Packers have a well-documented affinity for massive, athletic linemen. Iowa State defensive tackle J.R. "Big Citrus" Grier, who stands 6-foot-4 and 325 pounds, could be a perfect match. "On his pro day, he had some really good, explosive stats," Brooke said. "His speed scores are really impressive for a guy his size." While his college stats may not jump off the page, his role in Iowa State's 3-3-5 scheme and his raw physical tools make him a quintessential Packers developmental prospect.
