  • Barryn Sorrell

    Player Analysis

    “Perceived by many to be their biggest need, the Packers waited until the fourth round to take a pass-rush specialist. To this point in the draft, only the Packers and Vikings had not drafted a defensive player. Sorrell improved his pressure rate every year since he became a starter in 2022, culminating with a 12.5% pressure rate last season (which was ninth in the SEC). It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him play inside as well. He was one of four SEC players last season with at least 400 snaps at defensive end and 100 snaps at defensive tackle. His 28 reps in the bench press at the combine, which was tied for second among defensive ends/edge rushers, shows he has the strength to play inside as well.” per Rob Demovsky

  • Savion Williams

    Player Analysis

    “Williams had as many rushing touchdowns (six) as he did touchdown catches last season, making him one of only two FBS players (and the only receiver) with at least six rushing and receiving touchdowns in the 2024 college season (Texas running back Jaydon Blue was the other). He averaged 6.3 yards on 51 rushing attempts as a senior and got snaps and handoffs in the backfield as both a traditional running back and as a wildcat quarterback. While he did not fumble in 199 career touches from scrimmage, he dropped five passes last season (tied for sixth most in the Big 12). As a team, the Packers led the NFL with 25 drops last season, according to ESPN Research.” per Rob Demovsky

  • Anthony Belton

    Player Analysis

    “6-foot-6, 336 pounds. While that’s not a traditional stat, size is what makes Belton effective both as a mauling run blocker and as an improving pass blocker. The Packers are clearly trying to get bigger up front after signing left guard Aaron Banks (6-5, 324) in free agency, then moving Elgton Jenkins (6-5, 311) from guard to center and now adding Belton.” per Rob Demovsky

  • Matthew Golden

    Player Analysis

    “Golden was especially effective on deep balls during his season at Texas in 2024. He had 10 catches on passes thrown 25-plus yards downfield, most in the SEC and sixth most in the FBS. That’s another area where the Packers could have been in trouble without Watson, their best deep-threat receiver. Golden’s nine touchdown catches in 2024 were also tied for the most in the SEC.” per Rob Demovsky
