The NFL draft kicked off just as college football's spring transfer portal window was set to close. Although college coaches were primarily focused on the final few pieces of their rosters for the 2025 season, they were also tracking the selections in Green Bay.
Few groups have a better perspective of the draft than college coaches, who directly worked with or coached against the players hearing their names called last weekend. The transfer portal itself is also a factor, as the increased movement of players exposes them to more coaches before they finish their college careers.
