(247NEWSSOURCE/LEARFIELD) – The Packers get back to work today. Green Bay is holding its first official day of its offseason program. Phase one of the offseason is limited to meetings, strength and conditioning and rehab by the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Waiving goodbye to a trio: The Packers made some roster space ahead of this weekend’s NFL Draft.
Green Bay announced Friday that it waived tight end McCallan Castles, linebacker Jamon Johnson and cornerback Tyron Herring.
The Packers have eight picks in the draft, but none in the first round.
What others are saying: Yahoo Sports has taken a look into its NFL Draft crystal ball and decided just which players the Packers will pick. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/final-packers-7-round-mock-110000502.html
Acme Packing has the Packers using their first pick for a defensive lineman. https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/green-bay-packers-analysis/81787/nfl-draft-kaleb-proctor-dt-southeastern-louisiana-scouting-report
Meanwhile, the Last Word on Sports seems to think cornerback is where the Packers go. https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2026/04/19/cornerbacks-take-center-stage-in-packers-2026-pre-draft-visits/
No first-round pick, no problem: Not having a first-round draft pick isn’t always a disaster for the Green Bay Packers.
They’re in that situation for the 91st NFL Draft that starts Thursday.
In 1986, the Packers took future Pro Bowl outside linebacker Tim Harris.
With the 36th pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, Green Bay came away with franchise legend and wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
It also picked up tight end Jermichael Finley and offensive lineman Josh Sitton in that draft.
Finally, no first-round pick in the 2017 draft? No problem. The Pack was smart enough to draft running back Aaron Jones.
