Even though I haven't gotten a chance to do in-depth breakdowns of defensive players and offensive linemen, it won't stop me from putting together a predictive mock draft for the Green Bay Packers!

Quick update regarding my content for the rest of this draft cycle and the next few months:
While others are much higher on Ole Miss WR Tre Harris, I'm concerned about how quickly he could pick up a full route tree in the NFL. If he is able to run a more diverse route tree, he could turn into a solid contributor. However, if he can't he could struggle getting snaps.

Though it's not clear which position Colorado WR/CB will play in the NFL, I feel confident in him becoming a star at either position. If he focuses his attention at just WR, I could see him becoming one of the best receivers in the NFL before the end of his rookie contract.

There's been a lot of talk about Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan falling in the draft but I feel there is likely more smoke to this than real fire. If he does actually fall in the draft, I could see a team getting a great value selection, especially if they use him at the Z.

TCU has recently had some disappointing WR prospects, but I do think TCU WR Savion Williams is worth monitoring. I'm not as confident in his switch to RB as others, but he has good athleticism and release skills which could help him become a playmaker with the right coaching.

Though I'm not as confident in Illinois WR Pat Bryant's as others, I do see a quality player. He likely won't ever become a WR1 for a team but I could see him one day become a very good WR3, maybe a low-end WR2 for a team.

There's a lot of risk to Texas WR Matthew Golden. However, if a team wants to take a big chance and expects Golden to maintain his momentum from the end of the college football season and playoffs, they might get one of the best receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Though it was a nightmare of a year from a production standpoint for Missouri WR Luther Burden III, I'm still a believer in the talent. I think there's a strong chance he slides in the draft and provide a lot of value if he goes to the right situation and develops into a good WR1

Washington State WR Kyle Williams has become a popular sleeper candidate for the 2025 NFL Draft but I personally don't see it.
I think he's a good role player but I've seen him touted as one of the top 5 WRs in the class and I have a hard time seeing him as even a top 10 WR in the class.

Iowa State WR Jaylin Noel has been a riser since the combine. While he's a quality player, I wouldn't take him on day 1 like I've seen other people suggest.
Also sorry for the pronunciation of his last name. That's what I get for watching a lot of these games on mute!

Damien Martinez had a catch rate 16% below expected over the last two years, based on route-adjusted data. Ranked dead last among power conference RBs.

Iowa State WR Jayden Higgins is a unique player with a special blend of size and fluidity. He has impressive potential to play in the slot and out wide which could make him an easy fit for most offenses in the NFL.

Utah State WR Jalen Royals is one of my favorite sleeper receiver prospects of the 2025 NFL Draft and one of my favorite prospects in general. His season and hype were cut short due to a foot injury but he impressed at the Senior Bowl and could really shine in the NFL.

TCU WR Jack Bech broke out in 2024 and built on his season with a good Senior Bowl performance. He has now become a popular Day 2 selection in mock drafts. He likely won't ever become a WR, but he could become a big and very reliable weapon for an NFL team.

While others were high (and may still be) on Texas WR Isaiah Bond going into the 2024 season, I remained concerned about his ability to take the next step in 2024. Unfortunately, he had a poor year in 2024 and now he is hoping there are still believers in the NFL.

Though he didn't live up to the high expectations I had for him this year, Stanford WR Elic Ayomanor still showed off his ball skills, route running, and speed every week. He may not have the makings of a WR1, but he can become a very good WR2 for a team.
