Brian Gotekunst and the Green Bay packers have just under a week to make their decision on what they want to do in the first round of the NFL 2025 draft. With the team that holds the overall choice n ° 23, there are a lot of high -level players that should be available.
There are also great prospects that could slide towards packers in the project.
Currently, Green Bay has some needs to meet. Among these needs, there is a wide receiver, a rusher of passes and potentially another cornerback si jaire Alexander will be released. If Alexander will be back for the 2025 season, the need is not as pressing, but the packers should always seek to add a striking corner for the future.
In this spirit, a new prediction allowed Gutekunst a major flight to the corner position.
Gavino Borquez from Newsweek Had in Green Bay ended up with the Wolverines corner of the Michigan Will Johnson Wolverines. It has been projected a lot in the top 10, but its draft stock has slipped in recent days.
“Johnson could go much earlier than that, but I think he slips a little because he chose not to execute a 40, and there could still be questions about his medicalals,” wrote Borquez. “Nevertheless, packers have an urgent need for the corner, and they answer this with an intelligent and instinctive player who should start day 1.”

Johnson dealt with injury problems throughout the 2024 season. He was limited in what he could do and an injury also ended his season.
Throughout his three -year career in Michigan, Johnson has accumulated 68 plated in total to accompany nine interceptions, three defensive affected and 10 defended passes.
Assuming he returned to full health and reached his full potential, Johnson could be an elite corner in the NFL level. Taking it at n ° 23 would be a big victory for packers.
All that said, we don’t know what Green Bay is going to do. Fortunately, fans will not have to wait much longer to discover it.
