The 2025 NFL Draft is less than 24 hours away, which means the last of the mock drafts are upon us.

The latest addition? NFL media analyst Daniel Jeremiah's fourth and final mock draft ahead of the real thing in Green Bay on Thursday. April 24.

"With less of a clear consensus than what we've grown accustomed to in recent years, we could be in for a wild Day 1," the former NFL scout wrote.

You can find Jeremiah's full forecast for the first 32 picks here. Meanwhile, here's what to know about his final prediction for how the Green Bay Packers will use their No. 23 pick, and how it compares to his past predictions:

Who does Daniel Jeremiah predict the Green Bay Packers will draft?​


In his final mock draft, Jeremiah predicted the Packers will select Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston. The 6-foot-1 Michigan native will be in attendance for the draft.

"The Packers love SEC defensive players, and Hairston can really run," Jeremiah wrote. "He battled through injury in 2024, but his 2023 tape is exceptional. With Jaire Alexander potentially on the move, Green Bay adds help at cornerback."

Jeremiah isn't the only one predicting the Packers will tap Hairston with their No. 23 pick. In Journal Sentinel reporter JR Radcliffe's roundups of 57 mock drafts, these draft analysts also predicted Hairston will end up in Green Bay:

Who has Daniel Jeremiah predicted the Packers will pick in previous mock drafts?​


In his second-to-last mock draft March 18, Jeremiah also predicted the Packers will pick Hairston. But that was a departure from the predictions in his first and second mock drafts this season.

Here's who Jeremiah previously predicted the Packers may pick:

  • Mock Draft 1 (Jan. 26): Shemar Stewart, edge, Texas A&M. Jeremiah wrote, "The Packers love front-seven players from the SEC with outstanding traits. Stewart fits the mold."
  • Mock Draft 2 (Feb. 18): Josh Simmons, offensive tackle, Ohio State. Jeremiah wrote, "Simmons is coming off a knee injury, but he’s as gifted as any offensive lineman in the class. He also has the tools to play multiple spots on the O-line, something Green Bay has always valued."
