In his draft day column, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer claims that offensive line, along with cornerback and receiver, are “in play” for the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2025 draft. This lines up with his previous reporting, when he stated that the Houston Texans are trying to move up from the 25th pick to jump the Packers and Minnesota Vikings — two teams who the Texans believe could take back-to-back offensive linemen ahead of their selection.
The justification for a first-round offensive lineman for the Packers, in Breer’s mind, is to free up Jordan Morgan, the team’s 2024 first-round pick, to compete with Rasheed Walker for the left tackle position in 2025.
