The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is officially in the books, with data collected on hundreds of prospects ahead of next month’s draft.

With numbers added to their profiles, a picture of the types of players fit the traditional Packers’ mold is beginning to come together.

In that spirit, here is an early look at what their draft could look like, based on the players they are likely to covet who are within striking distance of each of their picks according to the consensus big board.

52 - Jake Slaughter, Center, Florida

We don’t know what will happen in free agency, but as things stand today, the Packers are going to need a new center for 2026.

Slaughter makes all the sense in the world after turning in a strong workout, fitting the size profile Green Bay has historically taken at almost 6’4 ½”, 303 lbs, with 32 ⅜” arms, and having started for three years at Florida.

The reports on his football intelligence are also glowing, and if the Packers need a rookie to start on day one at center, Slaughter may be the best fit in the draft. Unrelated: he has one of the best names in the draft, especially for an offensive lineman.

84 - Gracen Halton, Defensive Tackle, Oklahoma

Halton was plenty productive for the Sooners, getting a QB pressure or a run stop every 8.61 snaps in his best season. Production does matter, regardless of the reputation Green Bay has built for traits ruling all.

He also has the traits though, running a 4.83 40 with a 1.70 10-yard split at the Combine. Halton is on the smaller side at just over 6’2 ½”, 293 lbs, but would bring an explosive presence which the Packers lack when Devonte Wyatt is not on the field, as he wasn’t down the stretch in 2025.

120 - Daylen Everette, Cornerback, Georgia

Cornerbacks from Georgia may cause Packers fans to twitch after the Eric Stokes experience, but Everette would not be a 1st round pick and therefore less of a risk. He ticks every box athletically, including running a 4.38 40 at almost 6’1 ⅓”, 196 lbs.

Everette has had ups and downs during his career, but came up clutch in big moments, including a strong game against Matthew Golden’s Texas in the 2024 SEC Championship game, when he had two interceptions.

He will also be able to contribute in run support, which Brian Gutekunst has made clear on several occasions is an important factor in their evaluation of corners.

158 - DeMonte Capehart, Defensive Tackle, Clemson

Capehart is an interesting player, having spent six seasons at Clemson but never playing more than 347 snaps in a season, and racking up only 892 throughout his entire college career.

What he does have though is legitimate power which he uses to cause problems for offensive linemen when he is on the field. Capehart showed out in Indy with a 4.85 40 and a 1.72 10-yard split at almost 6’5”, 314 lbs. He could be a worthwhile rotational piece in Jonathan Gannon’s defense.

200 - Charles Demmings, Cornerback, Stephen F. Austin

Demmings was a winner of the Combine, putting on a show in the athletic testing. At over 6’1”, 193 lbs, he ran a 4.41 in the 40, jumped 42” in the vert and 11’0” in the broad.

Coming from a small school, Demmings could be a bit of a project, and has not been asked to play much of a role in run defense – he had 64 tackles in four years as a starter, for context, Everette had 51 in just the 2024 season – but there are tools to work with here.

236 - Diego Pounds, Offensive Tackle, Ole Miss

For a bigger offensive lineman, Pounds had an impressive day during the on-field drills in Indy. At 6’6”, 325 lbs, he managed a 5.15 40 with a 1.77 10, a 30” vert jump and a 9’4” broad. The 40, 10 and broad scores were all better than fan favorite Gennings Dunker, who weighs 10 lbs less.

The Packers must keep adding depth and competition to the offensive line, especially given the lacklustre performance of the group in 2025. Pounds was a three-year starter at left tackle in college and could be the next late-round success story for Green Bay.

254 - Jack Kelly, Linebacker, BYU

There are plenty of linebackers who could be attractive to the Packers in this draft, but they may also have bigger fish to fry and wait until the late rounds to add a body to the room.

If that is the case, Kelly could make sense as he ticks all of their athletic boxes. He ran a 4.57 40 at 6’2”, 240 lbs and could serve as a backup linebacker while also bringing value on special teams.

257 - Caleb Douglas, Wide Receiver, Texas Tech

Douglas had very solid production at Texas Tech and fits Green Bay’s size prototype for a wide receiver at 6’3 ½”, 206 lbs with 33 ⅛” arms.

He then cemented his ‘Packersy’ tag with a 4.39 in the 40 and a 10’6” broad jump. He is a name to watch out for on day three.
