Sections The Packers’ versatile offensive linemen could be targets in the 2025 NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers selected three offensive linemen in the 2024 NFL Draft, a year after taking none of them in the 2023 draft. Since taking over as general manager in 2018, Brian Gutekunst has drafted 14 offensive linemen and selected at least one in every draft except the 2023 class.

Gutekunst’s draft history suggests he will take at least one offensive lineman in the 2025 draft, and it’s protected to assume the prospect will offer positional versatility.
