The 2026 NFL Draft is almost here.
The first round is Thursday night, April 23 in Pittsburgh. And though the Green Bay Packers don’t have a first-round pick, there’s still likely to be enough drama – and maybe a few trades – for Packers fans to enjoy the night.
The Packers are on schedule to make their first pick in the second round Friday, April 24.

When do the Packers make their selections?
A look at the Packers picks in the 2026 draft, complete with the estimated time of selection, based on the past five drafts:
* displays time pick was made in 2025 draft in lieu of average time for previous five drafts; the chaotic nature of later rounds makes timing less predictable.
Why don’t the Packers have a first-round pick?
Green Bay traded its first-round pick to Dallas for both this year and next year as part of the exchange to acquire Micah Parsons. The Cowboys will have pick No. 20, which otherwise would have gone to Green Bay.
What’s the first-round NFL draft order?
The Las Vegas Raiders will make the first selection in the first round, and the first night closes with the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks getting a shot.
Will any University of Wisconsin players be drafted?
It’ll be slim pickings from Wisconsin this year, though it’s pretty likely edge rusher/linebacker Mason Reiger will hear his name called at some point over the weekend. Wide receiver Vinny Anthony II is also in the mix, though don’t confuse him with Duke edge rusher Vincent Anthony Jr.
Perhaps tight end Lance Mason can also sneak into the last round.
Former Badgers wide receiver Skyler Bell, who had a breakout All-American season at UConn, could be a top-100 selection. He spent three seasons at UW.
Marquette University High School tight end Riley Nowakowski, who spent five years with the Badgers program before finishing his career with national-champion Indiana, should also hear his name.
Billy Schrauth, a guard who played high school football at St. Mary’s Springs in Fond du Lac and then attended Notre Dame, could get taken as early as Day 2.
There are some other notable names in the seven-round mock draft put together by ESPN’s Jordan Reid. Former UW offensive lineman Nolan Rucci, who finished his career at Penn State, gets taken in the seventh round, as does Arrowhead High School alumnus Max Bredeson, a fullback from Michigan. Max’s brother, Ben, has six years of NFL experience.
Reid also has tight end Tanner Koziol, who committed to Wisconsin briefly last year through the transfer portal but then left for Houston before the season began, as a seventh-rounder.
