The Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft selected offensive lineman Jordan Morgan from the Arizona Wildcats. Morgan did not make much of an impact during his rookie season and it was a surprise when the Packers did not draft a defensive player in the first round last year.

There is a great chance that they will select a cornerback or a defensive lineman in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. There is a chance that some Ohio State Buckeyes defensive players could be on the board when the Packers are on the clock in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Pro Football Network Has the Green Bay Packers Selecting Ohio State Buckeyes Defensive Lineman Tyleik Williams In Latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft
Pro Football Network writer Reese Decker created his latest version of the 2025 NFL Mock Draft. He has the Green Bay Packers selecting 24th overall at the moment. With that selection, Decker has the Packers selecting Ohio State Buckeyes defensive tackle Tyleik Williams. Reese Decker said about this pick:
“To Aaron Rodgers’ dismay, last year’s selection of tackle Jordan Morgan ended a 12-year streak of choosing defensive players in the first round of the draft, with the lone exception being quarterback Jordan Love in 2020. With defensive tackle Kenny Clark entering the later stages of his career, the Packers are likely to seize the opportunity to add another game-wrecking defensive talent.
Williams is an incredibly powerful and disruptive force who dominates the line of scrimmage. He is an elite run stuffer, with the ability to displace blockers and collapse the pocket in passing situations.
General manager Brian Gutekunst understands the physicality required in the NFC North and knows how crucial it is to control the trenches, especially in inclement postseason weather. Coming from a premier program in the Big Ten, Williams appears tailor-made for the Green Bay Packers.”
The Packers no question need more help on the defensive line. Green Bay needs more help with getting a pass rush and they also need more help on the back end, especially at the cornerback position. No player on the team this season recorded 10 sacks.
Stats
Tyleik Williams is 6’3″ and weighs 227 lbs. This season with the Ohio State Buckeyes, he recorded 38 tackles and 2.5 sacks. The Buckeyes will also face the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl on Friday night.
Williams will most likely be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. This would be a nice addition for the Green Bay Packers for the 2025 NFL season, but they probably will find a cornerback in the NFL draft instead.
