The Green Bay Packers will be hosting the 2025 NFL Draft this year. Green Bay is 7-3 this year and they are looking to make noise in the playoffs this season. As of right now, the Packers will have their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
A lot of teams like the Las Vegas Raiders are looking forward to that event because they are not going to be making the playoffs this season. It will be intriguing to see who will get the number one overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
CBS Sports Thinks That the Green Bay Packers Will Trade Out Of the First Round And Trade Pick To the Las Vegas Raiders
Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports created an NFL Mock Draft on Tuesday. He has the Green Bay Packers drafting 26th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, Wilson thinks that the Packers will trade that first-round selection to the Las Vegas Raiders. Ryan Wilson said:
“The Raiders currently have the 35th pick and will have an additional third-rounder as part of the Davante Adams trade. The point: the team likely won’t have to give up a future first-rounder to move up nine spots. Either way, this is a gamble because after Ward and Sanders — both of whom would’ve likely been no better than QB4 or QB5 in the 2024 class — there’s a lot of projection, even by QBs-graduating-to-the-NFL standards. But the Raiders desperately need a QB, so much so that general manager Tom Telesco, who never trades up … does just that here.”
Wilson has the Las Vegas Raiders selecting quarterback Jalen Milroe from Alabama with that selection. The Green Bay Packers will not need to draft a quarterback because they have Jordan Love. They would need to draft cornerback help this season.
The Importance Of the First-Round Pick
This season, the Green Bay Packers will probably want to draft in the first round because of the 2025 NFL Draft being in Green Bay, Wisconsin, The fans will want to see them select someone in the first round. There would probably be a lot of unhappy fans if the Packers traded out of the first round this draft season.
The Las Vegas Raiders will be most likely drafting in the Top 10 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Earlier in the 2025 mock draft, Ryan Wilson has the Raiders selecting fourth overall and taking wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan from Arizona.
