The consensus big board from Mock Draft Database can help pave realistic pathways for the Green Bay Packers in the 2025 NFL draft. The idea is simple: wisdom of the crowd. The NFL draft is almost impossible to predict, given there are 32 teams ranking hundreds of prospects in different ways. But the consensus big board — a collection over 150 big boards from draft analysts — predicts the draft better than any one individual.

The big board won’t be perfect, but it can help predict how the draft will play out at various points. So, let’s use the consensus board to highlight a few potential ways the draft could fall for the Packers over seven rounds next week. For these exercises, we’ll be making each pick based on the players expected to go within a specific number of spots of the Packers’ selection. For example, at No. 23 overall, the Packers can pick from players ranked No. 18 to No. 28. We will expand the possible group each round as we go. This way, we are narrowing the available players without trying to get too specific.

Here are three exercises in mocking from the consensus board:
