Anticipation Grows in Green Bay as 2025 NFL Draft Approaches

Green Bay is buzzing with excitement as the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, just 17 days away. Fans and teams are gearing up for this year’s selection event, which will take place from April 24-26 at the iconic Lambeau Field. With recent pro days wrapped up and evaluations finalized, the anticipation is growing.

This year’s draft is shaping up to be quite different compared to last year. Unlike 2024, when six quarterbacks were taken in the first 12 picks, this year’s mock draft anticipates only two quarterbacks to be chosen in Round 1, with five more likely to be selected on Day 2.

The defensive line class appears exceptionally deep, with 14 defensive tackles and 15 edge rushers expected to go in the early rounds. This year might be one of the strongest in recent memory for defensive talent.

The mock draft includes a notable trade, with the Bears looking to move up to snag a premier edge rusher and the Patriots trading down to gather more picks while assisting their young quarterback.

Teams like New England seem poised to benefit significantly from their strategy, and franchises like the 49ers, Cowboys, and Chiefs appear to have intriguing players fall into their laps, even if some fans may not share the same enthusiasm.

The first picks of the day kick off with the Browns selecting Nic Scourton, an edge rusher from Texas A&M. Following that, the Giants are expected to target offensive lineman Donovan Jackson from Ohio State. With every team looking for talent to build their rosters, the excitement in Green Bay is palpable, and fans can’t wait to see how their teams will strategize during one of the most watched events of the NFL calendar.
