The Green Bay Packers are coming off a 9-7-1 season, and the pressure will be on Matt LaFleur to get further in the playoffs next year. Without a first-round pick, upgrading the roster will rely on finding value in the middle and late rounds. One key place to uncover that talent is the Senior Bowl. Here are five prospects the Packers should keep a close eye on.

Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, Oregon

The Packers must upgrade the offensive guard spot after Aaron Banks and Sean Rhyan allowed a combined 58 pressures last season. A player Green Bay could target in the second round is Oregon’s Emmanuel Pregnon, the top-rated offensive guard on my board. The 2025 All-American is a big, physical lineman who gave up just one sack last season and earned an 85.8 PFF run-blocking grade.

Tacario Davis, CB, Washington

Cornerback is another top offseason need for Green Bay, especially after releasing Trevon Diggs. A Day Three pick who could provide much-needed depth at the position is Washington’s Tacario Davis. At 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, Davis is a big, physical corner with strong ball skills, having broken up 26 passes during his college career.

Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State

The Packers lost their top defensive tackle last season when they traded Kenny Clark for Micah Parsons, leaving a hole in their interior run defense as both Karl Brooks and Devonte Wyatt struggled to stop the run. A potential Day Three pick who could help is Iowa State’s Domonique Orange. At 6-foot-4 and 325 pounds, he’s a big, physical run-stopper who should be available in the third round.

Jake Slaughter, C, Florida

The Packers could move on from Elgton Jenkins this offseason, and if they do, they’ll likely need to draft a replacement. Florida’s Jake Slaughter is a two-time All-American and the leader of the Gators’ offensive line. As a pro, he offers a high football IQ, the mobility to reach the second level as a blocker, and sound fundamentals.

Barion Brown, WR, LSU

Green Bay finished last in punt return average this season, gaining just 5.6 yards per return. A player who could help improve that is LSU’s Barion Brown, a potential late-round pick in the 2026 Draft. While most of his experience comes as a kickoff returner, Brown holds the SEC record with six career kickoff return touchdowns. Combined with his speed and vision, he should transition to returning punts smoothly.
