2024 NFL Draft

· 4 steals
· 4 reaches
The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Sam Hartman at slot 244 regardless, 39 picks early.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Landing Bullock that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Devin White gives the group a proven body among the projects.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A reach on Braden Fiske in pick 41; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Nothing to complain about; Ruke Orhorhoro went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Nice patience on Calen Bullock, who had no business lasting to No. 89. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Kris Abrams-Draine worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Adams at Round 4, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Cody Schrader slipping to Round 5, Pick 32 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A big swing on Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick No. 204, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They jumped the gun on Keaton Bills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Sam Hartman at slot 244 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kenny Logan Jr.. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Tatum Bethune in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
