We simulated all seven rounds of the draft. These players became Green Bay Packers

[ASFN Admin]

We're now just a month away from the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, when the Green Bay Packers will add a bevy of new contributors to their roster. And we're getting antsy.

Let's play a game we've tried once before, using the Pro Football Network draft simulator to sketch out all seven rounds of the draft. Who are the newest members of the Packers?

Draft 1: Absolutely nobody on offense​

• No. 23: Jihaad Campbell, linebacker, Alabama. A linebacker? He'd theoretically pair well with Edgerrin Cooper when the Packers are playing Cover-2, offering a physical playmaker. He's a first-team All-SEC pick who led Alabama last year with 117 tackles, including five sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss.
• No. 54: Landon Jackson, edge rusher, Arkansas. He had 6.5 sacks last year and could be a first-round sleeper.
• No. 87: Shemar Turner, defensive tackle, Texas A&M. Don't confuse him with Shemar Stewart, his teammate who's likely to hear his name in the first round. But he's a quick and athletic option, especially if he can keep those skills while adding some size.
• No. 124: David Walker, edge rusher, Central Arkansas. Could he go from an FCS program to an impact player in the NFL? Lance Zierlein of NFL.com believes he has uncommon power despite a 6-1, 263-pound frame.
• No. 159: Justin Walley, cornerback, Minnesota. In this scenario, the Packers don't address their secondary until the fifth round. He has 49 games of experience at Minnesota and stands 5-10, 190 pounds.
• No. 198: Jah Joyner, edge rusher, Minnesota. It's a very Gophers draft now, with the Packers taking a player who started 12 games and made honorable mention All-Big Ten for a second straight year.
• No. 237: Jason Marshall Jr., cornerback, Florida. Outside cornerback has good speed and size but saw his senior season limited to seven games because of injury.
• No. 250: Vernon Broughton, defensive tackle, Texas. He played in all 16 games for the Longhorns with 15 starts, making 4.5 tackles for loss, four sacks and two forced fumbles.

Draft 2: Trading out of the first round​

• No. 23: Traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Packers receive pick No. 37 and No. 68 from the Raiders, plus a third-rounder in 2026. Las Vegas winds up taking cornerback Shavon Revel at this spot.
• No. 37: Tre Harris, wide receiver, Ole Miss. With the fifth pick of the second round, the Packers take a receiver who earned second-team All-American in 2024 after leading his team with 60 receptions and 1,030 receiving yards. He did all that despite missing five games with injury.
• No. 54: Azareye'h Thomas, cornerback, Florida State. With Jaire Alexander's status in the air, it's not surprising to see Green Bay take a corner early. Some mock drafts have Thomas to the Packers in the first round, even. He started all 12 games in 2024 with an interception and 52 tackles.
• No. 68: Jared Ivey, edge rusher, Mississippi. He racked up 10.5 tackles for loss with seven sacks in earning third-team All-SEC in 2024.
• No. 87: Shemar Turner, defensive tackle, Texas A&M. See above.
• No. 124: Anthony Belton, offensive tackle, North Carolina State. Hew as a third-team All-ACC pick two seasons ago and played in 12 games again this year. He's a big dude at 6-6, 336 pounds.
• No. 159: Nohl Williams, cornerback, California. The All-American led the nation with seven interceptions in 2024, including one returned for a touchdown.
• No. 198: Cam Jackson, defensive tackle, Florida. Another large man at 6-6, 328, he has started 23 games over the past two seasons for the Gators.
• No. 237: Antwane Wells Jr., wide receiver, Ole Miss. The 6-1 receiver has faced SEC competition over three seasons and earned honorable mention in the league in 2024.
• No. 250: LaJohntay Wester, wide receiver, Colorado. He was honorable-mention All-Big 12 after playing all 13 games, and he's caught a pass in each of his last 50 games. He spent four seasons at Florida Atlantic.

Draft 3: Mykel Williams leads a defense-heavy draft​

• No. 23: Mykel Williams, edge rusher, Georgia. His traits make him a potential top-10 player in the class; he played through an injury all season to repeat as second-team All-SEC.
• No. 54: Elic Ayomanor, wide receiver, Stanford. Posted 63 receptions last season and was second-team All-ACC, with six receiving touchdowns.
• No. 87: Traded to Buccaneers for No. 98 and No. 157.
• No. 98: Cobee Bryant, cornerback, Kansas. That's certainly a championship-caliber name. The 6-0, 180-pounder has 13 career interceptions and good athleticism and instincts.
• No. 124: Sai'vion Jones, edge rusher, LSU. He has started 26 games over the past two seasons and recorded 7.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks, plus two forced fumbles, in 2024. Notably, he's taken two picks ahead of former Badgers offensive lineman Logan Brown (Kansas).
• No. 157: Jabbar Muhammad, cornerback, Oregon. Perhaps the Packers will try to replicate the success of drafting someone in the Oregon secondary after the Evan Williams pick last year. Muhammad has been a three-year starter (at three schools). Notably, he was taken one pick ahead of former Badgers offensive lineman Trey Wedig (Indiana).
• No. 159: Danny Stutsman, linebacker, Oklahoma. The 6-3, 233-pounder projects as an inside linebacker; he has 376 tackles in four productive seasons, with eight sacks.
• No. 198: Ty Robinson, defensive tackle, Nebraska. The 6-5, 288-pounder has played in 47 games for the Huskers and was named third-team All-Big Ten in 2024.
• No. 237: Isas Waxter, cornerback, Villanova. He's got good size at 6-1, 209 pounds and has twice been named all-conference in the Coastal Athletic Association.
• No. 250: Bru McCoy, wide receiver, Tennessee. He caught 129 passes with nine touchdowns in his three seasons at Tennessee.
