Let’s take a look back at a busy several days.
After weeks and months of anticipation, the 2024 NFL Draft has finally come and gone. The Green Bay Packers made 11 picks over the weekend, filling up positions on their roster that had major holes.
In total, the Packers and general manager Brian Gutekunst drafted multiple players at three different positions — offensive line, linebacker, and safety — while taking three players each for the line and safety spots.
Not only did the Packers fill needed positions, but they also got some excellent prospects at each of them. Their first three picks went in order at those three spots listed earlier, and the players they landed on defense were right at the top of most lists of players at their positions.
With the draft behind us, let’s take a look at the team’s overall class, a few new Packers on an individual basis, and much more.
