The Green Bay Packers are coming off an encouraging first season of the Jordan Love era — which was minutes away from advancing to the NFC title game — and will now enter the 2024 NFL draft in an extremely favorable position in terms of capital.
According to Tankathon, the Packers have the NFL’s fifth-most draft capital following the NFL’s awarding of compensatory draft picks on Friday. The only teams with more draft pick value in the 2024 draft? The Arizona Cardinals, Washington Commanders, Chicago Bears and New York Giants. Those four teams are all picking in the top 10.
The Packers have 11 total picks, including five in the top 100. Compensatory picks added three more selections on Day 3.
By Tankathon’s value, the Packers are the only team that made the playoffs last season and now rank in the top eight of draft capital in the 2024 draft. The next closest team is the Los Angeles Rams at No. 9.
The Packers got an extra second round pick in the Aaron Rodgers trade to the New York Jets last offseason. Also, Gutekunst improved his fifth-round pick to a third-round pick in the trade that sent Rasul Douglas to the Buffalo Bills at the trade deadline last year.
The Cardinals (six) are the only team with more picks in the top 100 than the Packers’ five.
Overall, the Packers have multiple picks in the second and third rounds and six total picks on Day 3.
Last season, the Packers ranked seventh in draft capital and ended up with an incredible class of contributors for Matt LaFleur’s playoff-bound team. Can Gutekunst strike gold again for one of the NFL’s best young teams? He’ll have plenty of swings come April.
