B-
Green Bay Packers
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

2024 NFL Draft
· 11 picks
· 1 steals
· 8 reaches
They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Frank Gore Jr., 65 picks early at the 189th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
The DeJean steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 11th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
They reached a country mile for Jack Sawyer at pick 39, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 43 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Nazir Stackhouse in slot 75 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Somehow Cooper DeJean was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Sinnott this early at the 111th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Shemar Turner in No. 135 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 189, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A real head-scratcher, Kamal Hadden in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A wild overpay on Phil Jurkovec in slot 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A conviction pick on Jordan Jefferson at pick 232 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
