The 2026 NFL Draft starts in a month from today and all eyes in Green Bay will not be on the first day of the draft, but be on the 2nd day of the draft.
Because of the trade for Micah Parsons, this year it is likely the first time since 2008 that the Packers will not be picking in Round 1. Despite the disappointment on the Thursday of the draft, not having a first round pick, the second round has been the Packers best round since Ted Thompson took over in 2005.
Starting with the selection of Nick Collins in 2005, the Packers under both Thompson and current general manager Brian Gutekunst, the Packers have selected 18 starting caliber players in Round 2 in the last 21 drafts.
