The Green Bay Packers are preparing for the 2026 NFL draft with 73 players under contract and 17 open spots. The team has eight picks, including six on Day 3, to add rookie contributors and long-term building blocks. The quarterback position is solid with Jordan Love and Desmond Ridder, but the team may add a developmental quarterback. The running back position is a need due to the departure of Emanuel Wilson and Josh Jacobs' age. The wide receiver position has room for a rookie contributor after trading Dontayvion Wicks and losing Romeo Doubs in free agency. The tight end position lacks long-term stability behind Tucker Kraft. The offensive line has depth issues despite having five starters in place. The interior defensive line needs a nose tackle, especially with the switch to a 3-4 defense.
