Packers Must Address Defensive Tackle Early in 2026 NFL Draft
Green Bay is overdue for a long term investment on the defensive interior.
By markoldacres
When it comes to the NFL Draft, the Packers are not slaves to their immediate needs, often preferring to look ahead to what their needs could be down the road, and viewing their draft picks as long term investments rather than a method of plugging roster holes.
It is for that reason that Brian Gutekunst must draft a defensive tackle early in the upcoming draft.
The Packers are already not in a strong position on the defensive interior heading into 2026, with Devonte Wyatt far and away their most reliable presence, and a group of inconsistent players behind him, headlined by Karl Brooks, Colby Wooden, Warren Brinson and Nazir Stackhouse.
Wooden, Brooks and Brinson, all former day three draft picks, ranked 92nd, 107th and 111th out of 127 qualified defensive tackles at PFF in 2025, and Wyatt actually only ranked 87th, down from 37th the previous year.
But the immediate lack of quality in the room is not the reason the Packers need to make an addition in the draft.
As has often been the case when Green Bay enters the offseason with a glaring issue, Gutekunst first turns to free agency to address it and hopefully secure an instant solution. Generally, the Packers like to enter the draft not ‘needing’ anything.
In fairness to Gutekunst, he would not have known when constructing last year’s roster that he would end up trading Kenny Clark on the eve of the season.
At that time, there was no one available to pick up as a free agent who was going to make any kind of tangible difference, so Green Bay understandably rolled with what they had, and expected Micah Parsons to make the front better overall, which he did.
Expect Gutekunst to in essence replace Clark in the upcoming free agency period. The real problem is when you look beyond 2026, and this is where the draft comes in.
None of Wyatt, Brooks or Wooden are slated to be on the team after next season. The cupboard is absolutely bare when it comes to long term investments on the defensive interior.
That should not be all that surprising when analyzing Green Bay’s drafts during Gutekunst’s tenure.
Since taking over as general manager in 2018, he has made 29 picks in the first three rounds of the draft. Only one of them has been a defensive tackle (Wyatt in round one back in 2022). It is not exactly shocking that it has become one of the thinnest spots on the team.
Something resembling a premium investment at the position was overdue last year, but the Packers were boxed out of any defensive tackles worth drafting in the first two days, as to a man, pretty much every single one was drafted earlier than most people expected.
That is a fair enough excuse for why it was not addressed sooner, but the Packers desperately need to add some building blocks for the next few seasons, and they cannot afford to exit this year’s draft, which is another strong one for defensive tackles, without one.
A nose tackle in particular could be of use, as Green Bay did not really have one without TJ Slaton this year. Even with their first pick not coming until 52 overall, they should still be in range to nab a Domonique Orange, Dontay Corleone or Darrell Jackson Jr.
For all the talk about cornerback and the offensive line, defensive tackle is Green Bay’s most glaring long term need, and barring another unforeseen case of the board not falling the right way, one of their day two picks in the 2026 NFL Draft needs to be reserved for that position.

IMO, OL is the biggest need of all positions. If Iowa State DT Domonique Orange "Big Citrus" is available with Packer's 3rd rounder, he'd be hard to pass on. Possibly 2nd because it's likely he goes in that range of 52 - 84 for the Packers.

Moo ... they already have there starting five offensive lineman penciled in for next year, but yes in woeful need of depth. Defensive line has been there splintered crutch since the Cullen Jenkins, BJ Raji, Ryan Picket, Howard Green group of the 2010 SuperBowl championship team.
Since then miniature M Daniels and of course lone ranger K Clark were the only noticeable names and were surrounded on the defensive line with little help. If you watched the Superbowl both teams had physical, powerful and not surprisingly quick DL. They are the giants that anchor the first line of defence, they are physical specimens they are exclusive, expensive and not easy to come by. GB with all there years of spectacular offensive glory have neglected this unit for to long and at there own demise...

They could "pencil in" four CB's next year, but that doesn't mean they are good there. Outside of Tom and maybe Belton, who sat too long because of the idiotic rookie stubbornness fear, the rest could be replaced, center-left. I have no idea what position Morgan can play. Can you? OL, DL, CB would be my order of importance for this team.
EricTorkelson
February 09, 2026 at 09:16 pm
Morgan will play Left tackle, he was a LT all through college and played well there he also played well in GB training camp this year until they moved him around and messed him up...Sean Rhyan will be resigned and start at center he is better than Jenkins who will be cut. A Banks will be back at LG and I believe better than last year once he is fully integrated into there system ... There you have it

Concur about the starting five OL. Morgan was solid as a RT replacement for Tom late in the year and had a good preseason at LT. He has the quick feet and good balance to play tackle against NFL speed rushers. He is just not strong enough to handle IOL duties against NFL grade DTs. Packer coaches should have realized that much more quickly than they did.
The Pacers will need to upgrade their OL depth. Due to injury, you typically need seven quality OL and the Packers don't have that now. Kinnard will be an FA and Glover and Monk are still question marks so drafting a couple of day three OL will be a necessity.

We usually carry 5 DTs on the 53. We usually play two at a time.
Wyatt, Brooks, Wooden, Brinson, Stackhouse. Wyatt is the guy you want on the field the most. Brooks and Wooden are veteran rotation guys, and Brinson and Stackhouse were rookies last year. There is a chance they'll develop.
I think we'll see an OL taken in the 2nd round. Maybe the 3rd round, too.

DT was actually 1 of our 2 biggest needs last year because Kenny Clark had a real decline in 2024, he was 30 years old, and his contract was huge. If for no other reason we needed his replacement. In last years draft the Top 4 DTs all were gone before we picked @ #22. So CB & DT were our 2 biggest needs before the draft, the Packers decided to grab 2 WRs & a OL with the first 3 picks instead of filling the holes we had.
Fast forward to the 2026 draft and guess what? CB & DT are still the 2 biggest needs. and now add OL right behind those. We don't have a first round pick either, although Parsons would have been worth 3 of them.
Luckily there are 5-6 available that should go somewhere between our 2nd and 4th round picks. Orange is a good one, Lee Hunter, Darrel Jackson, & Donte Corleone would all work. Someone told me to check out Tim Keenan-Alabama 6'1 335lbs and is unmovable as a run stopper. He is my current fave partly because of where he will come off the board, and because with our first pick, we really need to finally fill the Grand Canyon sized hole at CB that we have also had for 2 years.
A late round guy with run stop and pass rush is from my Iowa Hawkeyes, Arron Graves 6'5 300 lbs and had 6 sacks last year. Probably a late 6th or 7th round pick.
I would make a trade offer of Luke Musgrave to the Titans for D'Vondre Sweat-he doesn't fit Robert Salehs defense and will probably be traded.
Lastly I was happy when GB grabbed Nazir Stackhouse-NT from Georgia as a UFDA last year. Hope he takes a 2nd year jump.

At this point golfpack61, all you could get for Musgrave is a Starbucks Latte and a Bagel, but only if you have there coupon...
golfpacker61
February 10, 2026 at 09:28 am
Well I always get blasted for hindsight Eric, but Kraft should have been picked where Musgrave was picked, and because I agreed with taking 2 TEs that year in the draft, we should have grabbed Darnell Washington-TE-Georgia, who was mocked to us endlessly & was the best blocking TE in the draft. Josh Whyle, who we have now, was another TE favorite of mine in that draft.
Washington was projected to be picked 1st or 2nd round but fell because of injury concerns. The experts were wrong in this opinion because Washington has played in all but 1 game in 3 years for the Steelers. Not only would he have solved the blocking TE role, but he has great hands as well.
Hobbs has missed a lot of game so far in his career. Musgrave missed a ton of time in college, so they both had big red flags and never should have been Packers.
It has been suggested the Packers make a cheap veteran TE signing this year. Charlie Kolar-Ravens- is a very solid combo TE and his projected signing price is under $2 million per year. I suggested last year GB should sign a veteran TE as insurance behind Kraft because Musgrave was never available, The Packers rolled the dice and lost. Spend the $2 million for 3 years and our TE room becomes a strength with Kraft, Kolar, and Whyle.

Washington would have been perfect for what TE 2 does in a LaFleur O too. His condition wax supposed to be degenerative, but still not taking him as he dropped stings.

"I would make a trade offer of Luke Musgrave to the Titans for D'Vondre Sweat-he doesn't fit Robert Salehs defense and will probably be traded."
Maybe the Titans look to deal Sweat...maybe. But an effective inside player on a rookie deal is a piece that you keep so I don't see him being cut. He may develop a little more inside juice in a new system. He's worth more than Musgrave.
golfpacker61
February 10, 2026 at 09:43 am
Sweat has been rumored on Titans websites a lot to be a trade candidate this year Dobber. I watched a big Titan podcaster say they would be lucky to get a 5th round pick for him because he hasn't produced much in 2 years.
But the big reason for the trade speculation is he doesn't fit Robert Salehs system. Saleh has stated specifically he doesn't like "Gargantuan" D-Lineman on his team and Sweat is a "Gargantuan", Saleh prefers smaller faster DL. Every time there is a regime change on NFL teams, previous staff draft picks are jettisoned because they don't fit and there is no loyalty to keep them. So they usually are traded for very little, similar to how we would take anything to trade Rashann Gary. GB should jump early on this early because it frees up the draft to draft a CB early.
Bottom line is Sweat would perfectly fit a huge need for us as a run stopper. I also don't think Musgrave has much value, but both of them were 2nd round picks and Musgrave was at least healthy for the first time in 2025. If they balked on Musgrave & all it took was a 5th or 6th round pick to get a newly established young veteran DT that perfectly fits our need, give them the pick. Sweat would be way better than anything we could get with that pick in the draft.
If not for Sweat, then try to trade Musgrave for a young CB. We need CBs, DT, & OL. Find some team that needs a TE.

The defense was pretty good last year until Parsons and Wyatt were gone. Our losses almost always featured an offense that couldn't get it done.
This is the Green Bay way. Go out there, score 10 points, and blame the defense and special teams.
Coldworld
February 10, 2026 at 11:14 am
The D was to some extent decoded. Then it was exploited. The loss of Wyatt certainly exacerbated that in run terms, but likely would not have prevented it. The complete absence of threat without Parsons in the passing game spread that to the passing game as well.
The DE room needs work. Cox maybe is back, Sorrell may take a jump, but Parsons needs another legitimate threat and we need one to hedge the risk of injury. We can’t have an edge room dominated numerically by players who really only help with the run. This year that was the reality.

February 09, 2026 at 08:40 pm
GB biggest need is FA DT....FA DE....FA Center/ Tackle....or trade for any of these for higher quality. We don't have 4 years for a Gute pick to get activated.
TKWorldWide
February 10, 2026 at 06:37 am
If they just want a run stuffer, does that player have to be picked early? In recent years, it sure seems to me that starting IOL can be picked in rds 3-5. Why not one dimensional IDL? I don’t mean dual threat guys; granted, they go early. But just a 330 lb run stuffer like TJ Slaton?
EricTorkelson
February 10, 2026 at 07:40 am
Agreed TKW run stuffers/NT are becoming situational short yardage only. Big, Physical, penetrating DT come at a premium Wyatt, and Brinson will probably be the starters next year at this point. If the Packers dump the right contracts they may have a shot at a veteran FA DT tackle.
TKWorldWide
February 10, 2026 at 08:49 am
Doesn’t hurt to have one in base next to a penetrator like Wyatt. Then on third and long they can slide LVN in at tackle (IF they have another edge rusher they want to get out there.)
Coldworld
February 10, 2026 at 11:02 am
We need a guy at DT who can both stuff the run and at least disrupt regularly. It’s not so much sacks as collapsing the pocket. That’s a true starter and 3 down player. In run heavy games he can pair with a guy like Stackhouse who is really just an anchor.
It’s interesting. Stackhouse is no threat to the passer, but when you look at our run performance, run defense was 0.56 yards per snap better when he was on the field. Thats the best among Green Bay’s regular defenders (data per Bill Huber). It’s not just players, it’s failures in usage as well.
Stackhouse performed a lot better at the one thing he was brought in to do, clogging the run than most acknowledge. His lack of threat to disrupt was as expected, but, coldly, was not significantly less than the guys they preferred at DT if one looks at the data.
Regardless, pair him with a guy who can disrupt as well, and our run D not only gets better, but we can deter running to sustain long drives. The key is better awareness in terms of personnel use but that requires one thing: a dual threat DT. That should be our priority. Some one to push the pocket and occupy blockers in the passing game but, critically, who is also stout against the run on mixed downs and next to Stackhouse against run heavy teams.

Yes, I think we add one FA, although I believe it will be a CB.

February 10, 2026 at 07:11 am
You only have to look back at the game against the Ravens last year to realise we need another DT, be it nose tackle (in the 3-4) or 1 tech (in the 4-3). If another team can run on you at will, you must, MUST do something about it. Good NTs are not easy to find, especially those who give you more than two-down usage and can create additional inside pressure, even if they don't amass many sacks (see Kenny Clark). Brinson isn't really a 1 tech/NT and though Stackhouse has the size you want, there is a reason he went undrafted last year.
The majority opinion is that the three premium needs are CB, NT, and probably O line, especially if the Packers don't re-sign Rhyan. There are some that will disagree with that, which is fine, to each their own, but they are in the minority.
There are other needs, as there always are, like ILB (degree of needs depends on whether Quay Walker is re-signed), blocking TE, RB, backup QB and maybe second picks at CB and OL. Some might include edge as a need if Gary is gone, but I'd like to see what Sorrell and Oliver do first - and address that position in 2027 if required. I'd love a late pick on a KR/RB, maybe a late RB pick can double as a return guy.
Although you never can tell what Gute will do on draft day (he is very hard to predict), I would expect the first two picks to be DT and CB if there is decent value there, when the pick comes round.
The elephant in the room is whether Gute fills one of the 'need' positions with a vet, and what their quality is, from journeyman to high quality performer. If (for example) they decided to pay big bucks to Tyler Linderbaum (they won't), then Center is no longer a pressing need.

"The elephant in the room is whether Gute fills one of the 'need' positions with a vet, and what their quality is,"
I think this is the clincher statement, Turo. We all seem to see OL/DL/CB as positions of need, so I'd say that's where Gute will make some buys in FA. I think Gute will make room in the cap and sign one or maybe two starting caliber players...if I had to guess, I'd say DT and IOL (maybe that's Rhyan). I think there will be better value at DT in FA, but most of those players are around 30. I wouldn't be surprised if he signs a LB, though. There's a glut of LB talent on the market this year in the Packers' price range.
I'd be surprised if Linderbaum makes it to market. I'd expect the Ravens to tie him up first. I'd guess that two of the top C in sportrac (Linderbaum, McGovern) are all tied up before FA opens. Cade Mays and Ethan Pocic, I think, will be the top C to make it to FA and Pocic will be 31 next season and will probably miss half the season rehabbing an Achilles.
Turophile
February 11, 2026 at 08:17 am
Gute's modus operandi seems to be (as you say) to shore up weak position groups before the draft.
More often than not they are journeymen or slightly above (though sometimes he will go for a higher profile target) with the idea that if the draft falls badly for a position group that needed upgrading, he has already added a warm body there. At the lower end of things you may even see more practice squad players at the weaker groups on the 53 squad. This all helps to stop post-draft must-get-a-guy-there panic. It also makes it a bit easier for him to go BPA, even if that was not the weakest position group on the team. That's a pretty smart way of operating.
Like you, I doubt Linderbaum sees FA and even if he did, the Packers cannot really afford him. I only used him as an example of FAs impacting draft strategy.
dobber
February 10, 2026 at 08:02 am
I think what people are really looking for is a 3-down DT. Someone who has enough anchor and activity to play the run but has enough juice to get push and get 3 or so sacks per year. People are all up into a 350-lb tree stump to play DT, and maybe if you can find that guy in FA at a low price, you buy. Keep in mind that 350-lb stump isn't likely to play more than about 25% of the defensive snaps...so do you really want to burn a 2nd or 3rd on him with the other positional needs the Packers have?
Vic Ketchman used to say that stout NTs are made as much as they're drafted. They've got Stackhouse who will have a year in a pro weight program coming back, and he was a little more disruptive than advertised. Jordon Riley has 2026 at a little over league minimum, but he probably won't be ready until later in the season. I don't think they'll bring Ford back, but they could.
BuckyBadger
February 10, 2026 at 08:24 am
DTs can be had in the FA as well. I agree that they don't need to draft high for one.
Coldworld
February 10, 2026 at 12:00 pm
If there is a true dual threat DT in FA then we won’t be able to afford him. If you are talking anchors, we have that and yes, we could add another, but that’s not what we need to take the DL to another level.
Guam
February 10, 2026 at 08:50 am
Everyone wants the three down guy who can do everything, but they are usually very expensive players either financially or in draft capital. The 350-lb tree stump may only play 25% of the defensive plays, but if you don't have one or two you get a Ravens game where they run the ball down your throat all day long.
You have to be able to stop the run. You can probably get your tree stump on day three a la Slaton who was a fifth round pick. As you pointed out the Packers already have Stackhouse and Riley and I expect them to add a day three pick to the tree stump collection. With Wyatt and Brinson as 3-tech guys and a couple of tree stumps for the Ravens/Bears/Lions type games the Packer run DL should be better than last season.

T J Slayton is a cut candidate and is projected to get $7.5 million, so even average guys like him are expensive.
That's why I think 1 of 2 less expensive options would fix the problem.
Have Gannon try to convince Caliais Campbell to come to GB. $4 mill per year-kicks can down road.
Call up the Titans to see what they want for D'Vondre Sweat. longer term fix-cheaper
Ideal world solutions for filling holes in GB for 2026 season
Trade for D'Vondre Sweat-fills NT role-cost later pick or player
Sign Free Agent Charlie Kolar-fill TE hole-projected salary $1.7 million
Sign FA Leo Chenel-fill Quays spot @ LB-projected salary 4.7 million-1/2 Quays projected
Sign FA Skyy Moore-fill Doubs spot and KR-projected $1.5 million
Sign FA Jedrick Wills-swing tackle or OG-projected $2-$4 million
Sign FA CB-??????????????
None are for sures, but cost is minimal and frees up the draft to concentrate on needs like:
CB, OL, Edge, and can double up
BuckyBadger
February 10, 2026 at 08:23 am
There is no "must" when you draft. When you think like that you will pass on a good player to get a player of need that is more likely to bust out. Especially in the later rounds when the talent thins out you take the best player available. If there is a DT there great but don't you don't take one just because you think you have a need there. That is how TT got in trouble when he "needed" DBs, kept reaching for them in the draft and took several busts. If he grades out the best player, fantastic, if not, move on to the best player.
Turophile
February 10, 2026 at 08:42 am
Must is an absolute, but although expecting a specific position group to be a must at any one specific pick is unwise, you do need fill the weakest areas of your team, or pay the price in the future.
So (for example) you don't HAVE to draft a CB in round two, but you damn well better have a plan to get one later if you go elsewhere in that round. That could be using a pick there next round, or it could be a vet FA, or it could be a trade.
In the endless dicussion of BPA and need, neither is the sole answer, you have to fill needs somehow - and equally you have try and get the best player on the board at your pick.
Probably the best approach is to imagine need and BPA as opposite points on a sliding scale. You ignore a pressing need for a better pick elsewhere with one pick and as a result you push a little further up the need side of the scale for the next pick.....whereas if you fill a need pick (who might also be the best player on the board) the sliding scale moves more towards going BPA next pick, and so on.
You aim to keep the sliding scale going up and down but ending somewhere in the middle, where needs are met as far as possible, while also getting the best players as far as possible.
Being a BPA absolutist every time, is as bad as being a need-pick-always, every time. You'd look pretty stupid if you drafted a RB in every round of the draft because they were the best player at each pick.....Balance.

IMO - Caleb Banks is the guy you want.
Trading up to 40. (510 chart points )
It will take a willing partner.

I like Coogan to go higher. He probably keeps Banks to save face. He has to use either the #two, or three pick on a DT. Crownover is a football player. There could be three guys drafted from the A&M O-line. Trey Zuhn
was the LT. Andre Fuller probably goes higher. He screwed the pooch not bagging a CB with the #three pick last May. I didn't scout the games as intensely this autumn as the games are a track meet and guys playing without kneepads, thigh pads etc. I liked the Indiana LBs and the Oregon crew.
jannesbjornson
February 10, 2026 at 03:28 pm
He may go higher than # 45. I traded up. The Senior Bowl is just a four day affair. .The T-Tech defense stood out. Rodriguez KNOWs the Game. He understands where to be and plays to the gap fast and can move into the zone. Three Ints for him this year. Hunter fits a Kenny Clark profile, low man wins.. Both guys All-Americans. Bowry as the RT. I would really like a Fullback, but LaPuff doesn't believe in the lead dog showing the way for the RBs. The Lloyd pick still irritates the hell out of me. A two year, no-show while Bucky Irving shined as the change of pace guy. They kept Gutedkunst and we all know what that means. Stowers makes sense to be moving up. the Simulator issues. He will go second round, maybe in the first. 1st Team All-American. They see a Bowers type move TE. The Vanderbilt games were fun to watch as well as Georgia Tech. I'll get back into the tapes as we move along. Just the Hangover of retaining this guy and the rest of this group. Too many chances and they will Not get you to the Promised Land.
