The 2025 NFL draft in Green Bay

 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay 

The 2025 NFL draft has come to the frozen tundra of Green Bay, to Lambeau Field, the historic home of legendary coach Vince Lombardi and the coveted trophy. With the 2024 season in the books, the first-round order for the 2025 NFL Draft is set. The scouting combine will occur in Indianapolis from February 23 to March 4, followed by the NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, from April 24 to 26. 

Top Five teams and their needs

1. Tennessee Titans: The Titans hold the first pick and desperately need a quarterback, former QB Will Levis struggled with accuracy and handling pressure, according to the team. 

2. Cleveland Browns: The Browns have multiple needs, including edge rusher, quarterback, offensive tackle, wide receiver and running back. If they accommodate the trade request of star pass rusher Myles Garret, reinforcing their edge rusher position will become their top priority even with the ongoing QB situation. 

3. New York Giants: The Giants need a quarterback, offensive tackle, offensive guard, cornerback and safety. With the Daniel Jones era officially over, the Giants are in search of a new quarterback who can thrive with wide receiver Malik Nabers, Improving the mediocre offensive line is also crucial.

4.  New England Patriots:  The Patriots require an offensive tackle, wide receiver, edge rusher, cornerback, and offensive linemen. Addressing the offensive line is imperative, as injuries have highlighted their lack of talent at tackle. Guards will also be needed if Cole Strange remains at center next season.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars need a cornerback, safety, offensive linemen, wide receiver and quarterback. With Andre Cisco entering free agency in 2028 and Ronald Darby, Montaric Brown, and Andrew Wingard all in contract years in 2025, the team expects to bring in multiple rookies to compete in the secondary. 

What Does Green Bay need? 

For the Green Bay Packers fans, Coach Matt LaFleur's team needs a cornerback, edge Rusher, defensive tackle, center, and wide receiver. With First rounder, Eric Stokes set to become a free agent and two-time Pro Bowler Jaire Alexander struggling with availability, targeting a cornerback in the first draft seems likely. The question remains: Will Packers trade one player and re-sign the other or will both Alexander and Stokes be re-signed or traded.
