LouisEly's Umpteenth Annual Packers Draft Preview and Predictions, 2024 Edition

[LouisEly]

The Rocky Lombardi UDFA selection was nothing more than a name joke - I have nothing connecting the Packers to him.  I added a QB that the Packers are connected to - Gavin Hardison of UTEP, who they just brought in for a visit.  The Packers also attended UTEP's pro day (which I thought was for their LB Tyrice Knight).

I had always wondered why crabapples exist.  They seemed useless, until now.

They exist so you have something to whip at your little brother.

Gute just publicly praised Cooper DeJean...so he probably wasn't going to be on the board...but if he is, unlikely he's the pick now! I'm only half serious...but I would be surprised to see Gute talking about how much he likes the versatility of a player they were targeting in Rd1.

As a little brother, I can both confirm and despise this answer...

R.I.P.  Looks like it may have been caused by the recklessness of another, or possibly a drag race a la Jalen Carter/Devin Willock type of situation.

Nothing good happens at 3:30AM.

Who I'll probably regret leaving out...  Kamal Hadden, CB, Tennessee

Yep...

If he’s still available:  Omar Brown, DB, Nebraska – Brown spent three seasons at Northern Iowa before transferring to Nebraska and has played CB, safety, and slot.  Gutey has said that he likes multi-position flexibility and Brown has that.  Didn’t get invited to the combine, but ran 4.53 40 at his pro day with a very good 10-yard split (1.53) and 3-cone time (6.97).  PFF grade of 82.8 last season, credited with 11 missed tackles on 60 attempts but didn’t give up any TDs.

Missed that the Packers signed Omar Brown to the practice squad back on 8/29.
