Trade details and roster impact
Filmogaz.com simulated a trade that sends Dontayvion Wicks to the New York Jets. In return, the Packers receive a fourth-round compensatory pick, No. 140 overall, creating an extra selection.
Wicks was reportedly entering a contract year, making him a logical trade candidate. The added pick gives Green Bay flexibility in this 7-round mock draft scenario.
Overview of the mock draft
The Filmogaz.com mock draft aimed to address depth and positional need. The board focused on defensive interior help, cornerback length, and developmental skill players.
This simulation highlights how the Dontayvion Wicks trade could change draft construction. It also shows the team adding competition across the roster.
Round 2, No. 52 — Domonique Orange, DL, Iowa State
Green Bay targets an interior run-stuffer to anchor a 3-4 front. Orange logged more than 1,000 snaps at the nose during his collegiate career, suggesting early readiness.
His profile fits a team seeking stout gap control against the run. He projects as a day-one rotational option.
Round 3, No. 84 — Julian Neal, CB, Arkansas
The Packers take a long, explosive cover corner in the third round. Neal showed plus traits in zone coverage and strong run support during his lone season at Arkansas.
His length and athleticism match Green Bay’s schematic preferences. He would compete early for defensive snaps.
Round 4, No. 120 — Trey Zuhn III, OL, Texas A&M
Zuhn arrives as a long-time starting left tackle with inside versatility. He grades as an excellent pass protector and can provide depth across the line.
The move creates insurance and potential position flexibility. He could transition inside if needed.
Round 4, No. 140 (from NYJ) — De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss
Using the pick acquired in the Wicks deal, the Packers add a physical, long-legged receiver. Stribling blends traits reminiscent of Romeo Doubs and Marques Valdes-Scantling.
He projects as a developmental target on a four-year rookie contract. Stribling is envisioned to replace Wicks’s role and grow in the offense.
Round 5, No. 160 — Ephesian Prysock, CB, Washington
Green Bay selects a second tall corner to pair with Neal. Prysock brings athleticism and size to the corner room, increasing competition for starting roles.
The pair, alongside Benjamin St-Juste, would push the position group entering 2026. Depth and contestable snaps are key themes here.
Round 6, No. 201 — George Gumbs Jr., Edge, Florida
Gumbs is a lighter edge prospect at roughly 245 pounds. He is an impressive athlete who is relatively new to the position.
The team views him as a developmental pass-rush option. With proper coaching, he could become a rotational contributor.
Round 7, No. 236 — Deven Eastern, DL, Minnesota
Eastern offers length and versatility as a potential 3-4 defensive end. He has experience lining up toward the A gap at Minnesota.
He projects as a developmental piece to add depth on the defensive front. Coaching could maximize his size and alignment flexibility.
Round 7, No. 255 — Max Bredeson, TE/FB, Michigan
The Packers select a versatile H-back and blocking specialist late in the draft. Bredeson is more of a blocker than a primary receiving threat.
He complements the roster after Green Bay re-signed Josh Whyle, who provides more receiving upside. Bredeson could boost the run game and short-yardage packages.
