For our 8th and final time this pre-draft cycle, we dive into potential options for the Green Bay Packers to select with the 2025 Packers NFL Draft Prospect Primer 8.0. Packers GM Brian Gutenkunst needs to be wise with how he uses his resources in the 2025 NFL Draft with multiple positions of need. Today’s focus will be diving into NFL Draft prospects that the Green Bay Packers may potentially draft in 2025.
DT – Walter Nolen – Ole Miss
Nolen is a 6’4’’ 305 pound defensive tackle out of the University of Mississippi. An explosive first step off the snap allows him to consistently beat offensive linemen into their set and dictate initial engagement. A natural leverage winner who plays with outstanding pad level and core strength, allowing him to control the point of attack and reset the line of scrimmage. At Ole Miss Nolen displayed impressive lateral agility and change of direction skills for a 305-pounder. Walter Nolen is a nightmare on stunts and twists where he can utilize his quickness. He is masterful at using his compact frame and natural leverage to get underneath taller guards, driving them backward while maintaining his balance and power through contact.
DE – Jordan Burch – Oregon
Burch is a 6’6’’ 295 pound Defensive End of the University of Oregon. At Oregon Burch showed off freakish athleticism for his size, clocking nearly 21 MPH on GPS despite weighing almost 300 pounds. He possesses explosive lower body strength showcasing a 34-inch vertical jump and a 685-pound back squat. Contains natural power to collapse the pocket when he converts speed to power, he can walk tackles back when he commits to the bull rush. A high motor rusher who doesn’t quit on plays, regularly recording clean-up sacks and pressures through second effort.
WR – Tai Felton – Maryland
Tai Felton is a 6’2’’ 185 pound Wide Receiver out of the University of Maryland. A crafty separator who sells his breaks with exceptional head-and-shoulder fakes that leave corners flat-footed in man coverage. Felton displays exceptional spatial awareness working the sideline, routinely getting both feet down where lesser receivers drift out of bounds. He changes gears masterfully mid-route, lulling defenders to sleep before exploding into his breaks on intermediate concepts. At Maryland Felton showed an uncanny knack for finding soft spots in zone coverage, presenting quarterbacks with clean throwing windows between defenders.
