Packers.com has consulted more than two dozen mock drafts from reputable national outlets and compiled a list of players most frequently mocked as draft selections in the latter portion of the first round (picks 20-32) who could be available when the Packers are on the clock at No. 25 overall.

Between now and draft day, those players will be profiled with thumbnail sketches and videos known as "Prospect Primers."

Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State

Background/other info: Uses his size to play a physical brand of receiver and has shown off his ball skills with plenty of highlight-reel catches. Enters the NFL Draft at just 20 years old, not turning 21 until May. Not a speed burner (4.61-second 40) but showed his explosion at the combine with a 38-inch vertical and 10-7 broad jump. Played both football and basketball at Michigan State, where he caught 58 passes for 798 yards (with 15 receptions of 20-plus) and seven TDs in 2022. Transferred in 2023 to Florida State, where he caught 50 passes for 658 yards and an ACC-best 11 TDs, and proved successful as a punt returner as well, leading the conference in punt return yards (300) and ranking second in the league and ninth in the country in punt return average (12.0).
