2 HRS AGO - Photo by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Cooper DeJean leads the list of top prospects remaining after the first round of the draft. The Green Bay Packers made their first pick of the 2024 NFL Draft late on Thursday night, selecting Arizona offensive lineman Jordan Morgan with the 25th overall selection in round one. Green Bay should have plenty of options on day two of the draft, however, as the hold four picks in rounds two and three and have a number of intriguing prospects still on the board. Leading the way among potential Packers targets will be Iowa DB Cooper DeJean, who surprisingly fell out of round one. DeJean is arguably the best remaining player on the board, and that is indeed the case when looking at the NFL Mock Draft Database consensus draft board. Based on that board, here are the top remaining players as the draft heads into night two, where the Packers hold picks 41, 58, 88, and 91: Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa Jer’Zhan Newton, DT, Collapse

4 HRS AGO - Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images To understand Green Bay’s choice in the first round, just watch him versus the top pass-rusher in the 2024 class. When the Green Bay Packers were on the clock with the 25th pick of the draft on Thursday night, many expected the selection to be either Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean or Duke offensive lineman Graham Barton. Instead, the Packers chose to go with Arizona’s Jordan Morgan — who has been rumored to be a first-round pick for the last two seasons — one pick ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selecting Barton. Right as Morgan was building steam as a first-round pick during the 2022, he tore his ACL against the UCLA Bruins, leading to him returning to school for the 2023 campaign as he hoped to improve his draft stock by proving to teams that he could bounce back from that knee injury. One event that seemed to help him was the Senior Bowl, as Senior Bowl director Jimy Nagy stated that Morgan won every single one-on-one rep during Collapse

11 HRS AGO - Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images Todd McShay has apparently figured out the entire top 11 picks. The last 24 hours of the draft are a whirlwind. Sometimes clean information surfaces, like the rumor that the Las Vegas Raiders were going to make a surprising pick — who wound up being pass-rusher Clelin Ferrell — with the fourth choice in the 2019 draft. Other times, it’s complete hogwash, like the Will Levis first-round hype from last year. So let’s see what credible sources are saying today, as we’re just a few hours from the Chicago Bears being on the clock in Detroit. No 2024 NFL Mock Draft ⛓️ for me. But here’s what I’m hearing…1.

13 HRS AGO - Photo by Matthew Holst/Getty Images For my money, DeJean’s versatility makes him the best defensive prospect in the draft. Generally speaking, Terrion Arnold of Alabama, Quniyon Mitchell of Toledo, and Nate Wiggins of Clemson have been mocked ahead of fellow defensive back Cooper DeJean in the lead-up to the 2024 NFL Draft. To a point, I get it. All of those players are very good and I’d be happy to have any of them as Green Bay Packers, but I’d put DeJean above all of them. Before we get into why that is, let me provide a quick reminder that I’m bad at draft analysis, especially tape study, and what I’m about to write is entirely based on a guy who has…let’s see…17 Google Sheets open at this very moment watching game film. And not fancy All-22 game film either, just the normal kind, shot from the sideline where the receivers all run off screen and it’s impossible to tell what’s happening before replay. So take this with a huge grain of salt. When I’m looking at various Collapse

19 HRS AGO - Photo by Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Is it 7:00 yet? FINALLY. The 2024 NFL Draft is finally upon us. It’s now less than 12 hours until the start of the draft, as NFL fans’ long mock draft-filled wait is just about over. There’s really not much more to say about the Green Bay Packers’ plans, and certainly nothing that hasn’t already been said. But just in case you need any more preparation, here are a few final items to look over, in addition to some news coming out of Chicago about a plan for a potential new Bears stadium.

1 DAY AGO - Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports Mockers seem to believe it’s Cooper DeJean or an offensive lineman for the green and gold in the first round. We’re just over 24 hours away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, which means mock drafts are pummeling us. In an attempt to boil down all the information into one quick read, we’ve compiled all of the recent mock drafts written by notable names in the NFL draft community and/or the local media into one spot. You’ll quickly notice, once you see the results of these mock drafts, that the Green Bay Packers are essentially being given two options by the prognosticators. Option A is taking defensive back Cooper DeJean, the Iowa product who general manager Brian Gutekunst stated this week that he considers to be both a potential cornerback and safety at the next level. Option B is going with an offensive lineman, which could lead to a reshuffling of the unit after a recent report claimed that the Packers consider right tackle Zach Tom to Collapse
