After OTAs on Tuesday, Green Bay Packers veteran defensive lineman Kenny Clark revealed he had a foot injury that led to offseason surgery. “Tough year for me,” Clark said. “Had surgery on my foot in January. … It affected me a lot,” Clark said, adding it got caught in the turf during the season opener in Brazil. “I hurt it in the Brazil game. … I always had a little toe thing going on.

It’s not just the beer and cheese causing blood pressures to spike across the state of Wisconsin. Some of that hypertension is no doubt attributable to the Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver room. While they have a lot of good pieces in Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks, none of them have been able to step up as a WR1. The Packers could spend their shiny first-round pick on a receiver, but history suggests that won’t happen.

Positional-value apologists will be furious at the mere thought of drafting an off-ball linebacker on Day 1, but bear with me for a few minutes. Edgerrin Cooper’s stellar rookie season has shifted the focus away from something crucial. The Green Bay Packers’ off-ball linebacker corps still has plenty of room for improvement, both in starting quality and depth.

If the Green Bay Packers learned anything from last season, it’s how valuable it is to have a reliable backup quarterback. Malik Willis went 2-0 as a starter, while Jordan Love recovered from a sprained MCL. He also came off the bench in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, after Love exited with a groin injury, and helped rally the Packers to a 30-27 win. Without those two victories with Willis under center, the Packers wouldn’t have punched their ticket to the playoffs.

The future of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line offers more questions than answers. Zach Tom and Rasheed Walker are entering the final year of their rookie contracts and could be in line for massive paydays. If Tom delivers another borderline All-Pro season in 2025, he won’t just earn a raise – he’ll likely reset the market for right tackles. The questions don’t stop on the outside. The Packers also face uncertainty on the interior.

If history tells us anything, Green Bay will invest on the defensive side of the ball early in the draft. Predictions are flying in, with the 2025 NFL Draft starting on April 24. One ESPN report suggests the Packers will go defense early in the draft. Matt Miller and Jordan Reid of ESPN shared what they’re hearing for each team as the draft approaches. For the Packers, what they’re hearing shouldn’t be a surprise.

For 22 years, the Green Bay Packers have gone without drafting a wide receiver in the first round – a streak fans often bemoan, particularly when reflecting on the 2020 draft. Many still point to the missed opportunity to select Tee Higgins, which could have given Aaron Rodgers another weapon as his career in Green Bay began nearing its end. Three years later, Jaxon Smith-Njigba was a fan favorite, but the Packers passed on him to select Lukas Van Ness in the first round.

There are countless examples of players who get injured in their final year of college and see their draft stock slip as a result. Many of those players bounce back and prove they’re every bit as good as the pre-injury buzz suggested. Colorado State wide receiver Tory Horton is poised to be a perfect example of this and an ideal candidate for the Green Bay Packers to scoop up on Day 2 or even Day 3. Horton led the Mountain West Conference in receptions in 2023 with 96.

The Green Bay Packers moved up four spots in the 2020 draft in the back end of the first round to select quarterback Jordan Love. To do so, the Packers parted with the No. 136-overall pick. The Packers won’t be in the market for a quarterback in the first round of this draft, but they can still get involved and benefit from the Jaxson Dart sweepstakes. There’s a universal belief that the Tennessee Titans will select Miami’s Cam Ward with the first-overall pick.

The Green Bay Packers are still looking to add to their wide receiver room. If history has taught us anything, the Packers won’t draft a receiver in the first round. It will likely be another year when they address this situation in the third round or later. However, the Packers can bolster this room with an underrated player late in the draft. Theo Wease Jr. out of Missouri should be available in the sixth or seventh round or as an undrafted free agent.
