Packers 2026 NFL Draft: Picks by round, biggest needs, best fits

The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off live from Pittsburgh on Thursday, April 23 and the latest crop of rookies will be hearing their names called all weekend long. For the Green Bay Packers, the biggest need is an obvious one: Cornerback.

The Packers lost defensive starters, including edge Rashan Gary and LB Quay Walker. But cornerback is Green Bay's most pressing need because the team doesn't have a No. 1 cornerback on its roster. CB Benjamin St-Juste was brought aboard in free agency, but more work should be done at the position.

Green Bay Packers NFL draft best prospect fit: CB Keith Abney II, Arizona State

Per USA TODAY's Ayrton Ostly:

Green Bay is hoping Micah Parsons is fully healed up when he returns in 2026 to give them one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. The back end could use more investment, though, and Abney could be a fit either outside opposite Keisean Nixon or at nickel over Javon Bullard. His track background shows up on tape. He's far more physical than his 5-foot-10, 187-pound frame would suggest.
