Summary
Mock Draft Monday takes a whole new angle this week as we dig into the athletic benchmarks and physical profiles the Packers have historically favored at every position — then build an entire mock draft around them. Using combine data going back to 2018, we compare Green Bay's draft tendencies against NFL averages to find the prospects who truly fit the Packers' DNA.
- Deep dive into Packers combine benchmarks vs. NFL averages at every position — what actually separates Green Bay's picks from the rest of the league?
- A stunning revelation: the Packers have invested just ONE draft pick at cornerback in rounds 1-4 since 2018 (Eric Stokes), making CB1 an urgent need
- Full mock draft featuring Chris Johnson (CB, San Diego State), small-school riser Caleb Proctor (DT, SE Louisiana), Alabama center Parker Brailsford, and more
- Late-round gems explored including Mason Rieger's Shrine Bowl explosion, Joe Fagnano's breakout season at UConn, and Khalil Dinkins' untapped tight end potential
Whether you're a draft junkie or just want to understand how Green Bay builds its roster, this one's packed with data, film notes, and fresh names for your draft board.

| 0:28.4 | And again, we're going to do a nice little twist on it. |
| 0:31.3 | You know what I'm saying? |
| 0:32.8 | This time around, especially with the combine, nearly concluded nearly concluded for me, it's, it's wrapping up. |
| 0:39.4 | Um, I thought this time around we would do sort of, uh, the Packers guys kind of a draft. |
| 0:47.9 | I wanted to look at, um, some characteristics for the Green Bay Packers and whatnot, who they like to draft, all that kind of stuff. |

| 1:34.5 | with hands smaller than 925 since 2005. The thing I was dislike about, the hard part about |
| 1:41.9 | the draft is you don't draft that many people. |
| 1:45.7 | It's like it's been 10 years. |
