It's Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft and the Green Bay Packers own the 52nd overall pick and the 84th overall pick. Let's take a look at who they selected in my Day 2 mock draft:
52nd overall pick: Christen Miller, DT, Georgia
Another Georgia defender. Miller is a rugged run defender. He is going to control his gap and he won't get pushed off his spot. He has good quickness of the snap and the power in his hands to work off contact to be an active force against the run. With his initial burst and power, Miller can collapse the pocket. At 6-3, 321 pounds with a nice blend of power and quickness, Miller is exactly what the Packers need in the middle of their defense.
Also considered, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Edge, Penn State, Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon, Derrick Moore, Edge, Michigan, Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee and Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State.
84th overall pick: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia
Are you having flashbacks to the 2022 NFL Draft? Just like the 2022 NFL Draft, Gutekunst opens up the 2026 NFL Draft with a pair of Georgia Bulldogs.
At 6-1, 196 pounds and with nearly 32-inch arms, Everette is well put together. He runs with long strides and plays with 'easy' speed. He can hit his top gear quickly. At the NFL Scouting Combine, Everette clocked a 4.38 40-yard dash. Over the past two seasons, he recorded 14 pass deflections and four interceptions.
Also considered: Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M, Sam Roush, TE, Stanford, Darrell Jackson Jr, DT, FSU and Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas.
This would be an ideal start to the draft for the Packers. They address the two biggest roster needs and it would not be shocking if they added another cornerback and another defensive tackle on Day 3 of the draft. With six picks at his disposal, he could get aggressive and try to move up to start Day 3 to get a guy at the top of their Day 3 board.
