When it comes to the NFL Draft, the Packers are not slaves to their immediate needs, often preferring to look ahead to what their needs could be down the road, and viewing their draft picks as long term investments rather than a method of plugging roster holes.

The Packers are already not in a strong position on the defensive interior heading into 2026, with Devonte Wyatt far and away their most reliable presence, and a group of inconsistent players behind him, headlined by Karl Brooks, Colby Wooden, Warren Brinson and Nazir Stackhouse.
