Here’s a look at where the Packers are scheduled to pick throughout this weekend, at least before the draft begins.
The Green Bay Packers head into the 2024 NFL Draft with 11 selections. Green Bay has made a pair of trades that affected their 2024 draft picks, while also adding three compensatory draft picks for free agent losses in 2023 — one short of the maximum that any team can receive in a single draft.
By virtue of the Packers’ 9-8 record in 2023 and their Wild Card playoff win that advanced them to the Divisional Playoffs, their own picks would be the 25th or 26th in each round of the draft. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also had the same record and advanced the same distance in the postseason, so with the Packers getting the tiebreaker for an earlier pick in round one, the two teams alternate in successive rounds with Tampa Bay having the earlier selection in even rounds.
The Packers did trade one of their original seven selections, their original fifth-round pick at #160 overall, to the Buffalo Bills at last year’s trade deadline. Sending that pick along with cornerback Rasul Douglas got the Packers another third-round pick, the Bills’ selection at #91 overall.
Then there is the trade of Aaron Rodgers, which took place on the doorstep of the 2023 NFL Draft just over one year ago. Rodgers did not hit playtime requirements with the New York Jets last season to elevate the 2024 pick coming to Green Bay up to a first-rounder, so instead the Packers received the Jets’ second-round pick, which slots in at #41 overall.
Finally, Green Bay’s three compensatory selections come in rounds five, six, and seven, giving them a total of 11 picks. Here’s a look at where each of those selections sit heading into round one on Thursday.

Round 2
