"As part of the Micah Parsons trade, Green Bay's first pick in April belongs to Dallas. But while the 18 non-playoff teams already know the order for their picks, the next 14 depend partially on playoff results. The losers of the six games this weekend will get picks 19-24, with the order being determined by regular-season records and any relevant tiebreakers."
"Thankfully, there's little complexity to where the Packers' pick will fall. Their 9-7-1 record, thanks to the Week 4 tie with Dallas, removes them from any murky tiebreaking process. They will clearly have a better or worse record than whoever else is in the mix. Naturally, the Cowboys want the Packers in this first crop of playoff losers. And because Green Bay has the second-worst record of all playoff teams in either conference, that means the lowest the pick can go would be 20th overall."
"Saturday is really the big day in terms of the Packers' pick and the Cowboys' interests. Not only do we get Green Bay-Chicago in the night game, but Carolina is hosting the Rams this afternoon. If the Panthers can somehow upset Los Angeles, that opens the door to the Green Bay pick being 19th overall: the best-case scenario for Dallas."
Dallas holds Green Bay's first-round 2026 pick as part of the Micah Parsons trade. The 18 non-playoff teams already have set draft positions, while the next 14 slots depend on playoff outcomes and regular-season records. Playoff losers receive picks 19-24 in order of their regular-season records and tiebreakers when necessary. Green Bay finished 9-7-1, which avoids complicated tiebreak scenarios and gives Dallas a favorable range for the pick. Carolina's 8-9 record means a Panthers upset could move the Packers' pick to 19th. If Green Bay wins and advances, the pick could fall as low as 25th. Green Bay enters the playoff week with injury and momentum concerns.
