It’s officially Senior Bowl week and the NFL world has converged on Mobile, Alabama. Since 2022, Brian Gutekunst has selected 18 players who competed at the Senior Bowl, including using eight of the 11 picks during the 2024 NFL Draft that were down in Mobile.

It’s a safe bet that Green Bay’s general manager will use a handful of picks in April on players he’ll get a close look at this week down in Mobile.

Let’s look at 10 players from the American roster that could be high on Green Bay’s board. If you missed it, here are the linebackers and edge rushers on the American roster that could be on Green Bay’s radar, and the wide receivers.

Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss

The Alabama transfer finished this past season with four tackles for loss, three interceptions and 13 pass deflections. Amos has an ideal frame and a track background. The Ole Miss cornerback is smooth, instinctive and uses his length to choke passing lanes.

Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

The Texas A&M transfer recorded 14 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and 35 pressures during his lone season at Ole Miss. He has excellent quickness and change of direction skills. Nolen has an explosive first step and would provide Green Bay with a disruptive interior force.

Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville

Riley is a former track athlete who plays the ball like a wide receiver. He finished his career at Louisville with eight interceptions and 27 pass deflections. He plays through the hands of wide receivers at the catch point.

Jackson Slater, OL, Sacramento State

Slater finished his career at Sacramento State with 44 career starts, 42 at left guard and two at left tackle. Slater shows good initial quickness to fly out of his stance. He’s efficient in his pass sets and coordinated in his shuffle. Throughout the past two seasons, Slater gave up zero sacks and 14 pressures.

Garrett Dellinger, OL, LSU

Dellinger finished his career at LSU with 25 starts at left guard, three at left tackle and one at center. He has strong hands to control blocks and can move defenders with his raw power. In seven games this past season, the versatile LSU lineman gave up zero sacks and three pressures.

Miles Frazier, OL, LSU

Frazier started his college career at Florida International and finished his collegiate career with 28 starts at right guard, 11 at left tackle, nine at left guard and one at right tackle. This past season, Frazier gave up zero sacks and 13 pressures.

Emery Jones Jr, OL, LSU

Jones finished his time at LSU with 36 starts at right tackle. With his build, Jones looks every bit the part of an NFL offensive lineman. He plays with a bit of a mean streak as a run blocker. This past season Jones gave up one sack and 28 pressures.

Jackson Hawes, TE, Georgia Tech

Hawes might be the best blocking tight end in this draft class. He blocks his tail off and could be an ideal tight end to play behind Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave. The Yale transfer loves to bury the man across from him. He has 454 special team snaps to his name and recorded nine tackles.

T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina

Sanders rushes with burst and power to get upfield quickly. He has the lateral athleticism to make plays up and down the line of scrimmage. Sanders shows good pursuit speed and finished this past season with 24 run stops.

Brashard Smith, RB, SMU

A converted wide receiver, Smith is a fluid athlete who can string together moves to weave through traffic. As a former wide receiver, he can track the ball away from his body and catch and go without throttling down.
