2024 NFL Draft - Packers Focused

[Joseph Zarr]

 

Locker Room Culture and Team Culture is clearly a priority for the Packers. You love to see them adding fantastic young men to their group.

Packers fans really need to not react to Lions picks at next year's draft, show them they just don't matter to us. Oh, and absolutely boo the bejezus out of the Bears and Vikings when they pick.

You know how they like to have local musicians play at these things?

I can't wait to have an oompah band up on stage playing, "Da Bears Still Suck".

I actually like Oladapo but (and I can’t believe I’m going to say this) how many Safeties can you roster?

Going into the draft their safety room was McKinney, a 7th round pick, and three guys who have played 37, 3, and 0 defensive snaps in their career.  They needed bodies.

Are the Happy Schnapps Combo still active?

The Dolphins getting Jaylen Wright and now Malik Washington is borderline hilarious. These are classic McDaniels skilled speed guys. How does this happen? Amazing.

Highly recommend listening to the Monk and Oladapo interviews on Packers Twitter feed. Incredible young men. Very very well spoken with great perspectives. Total locker room guys.

Yeah...I think if AJJ was a 4th rd pick, fans would have felt much better about it. I thought he and Rudy Ford would mean we had less of a need for 3 safeties, but Gute apparently disagrees. 

I liked Oladapo...and Watts from UT as two box safeties in particular on Day3. Didn't even really consider Williams. 

Also, watching the rest of this draft play out, I have to think the Packers feel better about their OL than they kinda let on. Clear need at RG. I think that'll be Morgan in Yr1 with a chance to compete at LT, but I would have thought we'd have seen another OL picked.

The Packers D has been getting killed in the middle of the field for years. New 4-3 scheme and staff and tons of money and picks invested in DL and CB. I am fine with them drafting 2 LB and 3 safeties if it fixes the issues, if some of them pan out we should be good for a few years there.

Love that they see Oladapo as a potential Will Backer. Wonder if that means they'll be trying to add size.

Owusu-Koramoah is obviously a lofty comp, but if he can just play that type of general role, that'd be really interesting.

Gotta get past SF.

Not sure Allen is going to be a good fit with the Jets.

T Travis Glover Georgia State with their 6th Rdr.

Mammoth of a man. Slimmed down for the draft process from 6'6" 340 to 6'6" 318. Most see him as a guard prospect in the NFL. Over 50 starts. Highs and Lows. Played well up in competition - ie good tape vs 2023 LSU squad. But, he's pretty all over the place with his punch and technique for a guy who played that many games. Project pick. Likely a Scout's pick.

ANOTHER SENIOR BOWL GUY? LOL. The Packers definitely have a type. If you are thinking they don't, you are lying to yourself. Amazing.

[Strike4]

Glover is a nice late luxury pick. Good physical skills but potentially not well coached yet.

Draft him and coach him up for a year or so and see if you hit.

The most Packers pick of all the Packers pick.

You have Mahogany on the board, top 100 on most lists...I thought they'd add another OL and it was so predictable it'd be a guy few people have heard of!

 

Draft analysts project, Gute laughs!

No kidding. This is a fantastic rep. (RT top of Line. Blue Helmet)

This draft seems to clearly be a commentary on the way they view their CB's, WR's, and DL depth. Obviously, they like what they have on the roster.
