The Green Bay Packers reached the divisional round of the NFC playoffs in 2023. General manager Brian Gutekunst will try to build upon that roster during the NFL Draft.
Here's the latest on which top prospects are visiting with the team.
Michigan OL Zak Zinter
Zinter was the first of the top-30 visits for the Packers, according to Bleacher Report.
A big part of Zinter's visit should be a medical checkup due to a horrific leg injury he suffered in the final game of Michigan's regular season against Ohio State.

Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper
The rangy linebacker was a production machine for the Aggies. He will be visiting the Packers, according to Bleacher Report.
The Packers are in the market for a linebacker after the release of De'Vondre Campbell as they switch to a 4-3 defense.

Ohio State DT Michael Hall Jr.
The Athletic's Zac Jackson reported the Packers have a top-30 visit lined up with Hall.
Hall Jr was a productive pass rusher for the Buckeyes, and could add more depth to a defensive line that could be looking to add more bodies as they switch to a 4-3 defense.

"We had a lot of guys and very excited about where they’re going, but they just had a lot more opportunity than maybe these guys have had and they capitalized on it and that’s a credit to them," he said at the Scouting Combine. "That’s always gonna be the foundation of how we build football teams around here is the draft and develop. I think that’s really important that we’re committed to that."
