The Green Bay Packers are set to enter the 2026 NFL Draft with a smaller-than-usual haul of draft picks. They, of course, are heading into this draft without a first-round pick for the first time since 1986, thanks to the Micah Parsons trade. They have ended drafts without first-rounders before, but that was due to trade-backs (2008, 2017) to acquire more picks. Not having a first-round pick this year and next year ramps up the pressure to hit on other picks in the draft.
The best way to do that is to give yourself as many bites at the apple as possible.
