2024 NFL Draft
· 11 picks
· 7 steals
· 2 reaches
Call it larceny. Trevor Keegan sat on the board until pick 202, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Gray reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in Round 2, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javon Bullard at pick No. 58. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Cedric Gray at No. 88 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They went early on Braelon Allen in pick 91, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Elijah Jones graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Value with a capital V on Kitan Oladapo in slot 169, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Taking Trevor Keegan in the 202nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They did well to land Garret Greenfield in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Steal is underselling it; Steele Chambers at pick No. 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
They robbed the room for Sheridan Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
