Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images Here’s your final primer on how to tune in for tonight’s first round. The NFL Draft is finally here — the wait is down to hours and minutes instead of days. Tonight, round one kicks off the 2024 draft from the home city of one of the Green Bay Packers’ NFC North rivals, one year before the Packers themselves will host the 2025 version of the event. The Packers sit at pick number 25 heading into the evening, but with plenty of resources to move up the draft board if they so choose. Green Bay has four day-two picks — 41 and 58 in the second round plus 88 and 9 ..read more

Photo by Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images After gaining 12 pounds this offseason, Wooden is going to play 4-3 defensive tackle for Green Bay in 2024. Many of the Green Bay Packers’ rookies in 2023 had mid- or late-season breakouts as the Packers made the push to the playoffs. One who had a quiet first season in the NFL, though, was fourth-round defensive lineman Colby Wooden — who played 3-4 defensive end for the team. After playing 49 and 44 percent of the team’s defensive snaps in Week 1 and 2, respectively, Wooden only cracked over 26 percent of the team’s defensive snap ..read more

Photo by Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Here’s one last seven-round Packers mock just one day from the 2024 NFL Draft. One more sleep. The 2024 NFL Draft is just one day away, and Green Bay Packers fans are anxiously waiting to see if Brian Gutekunst can have a repeat performance from 2023. There are still so many unknowns about which direction the Packers will take their haul of 11 draft picks. However, that much capital could put the Packers in a position to take some big swings.

Mark Hoffman?Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK The window is open. Can the Packers make the right moves? The Packers’ foundation is strong, but the stakes are high for this weekend’s NFL Draft. Last year’s exciting finish was amazing and spoke of the potential for big things to come. Jordan Love and the Packers’ offense was firing on all cylinders, and they had a real opportunity to go to the NFC Championship before miscues down the stretch doomed their upset bid in San Francisco. But if they’re hoping for more, they need more contributors out of this year’s draft class. As good a ..read more

Photo by Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Most of the future top-100 picks that Green Bay brought in during the pre-draft process have a major question mark. Earlier this week, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst gave a list of reasons for why future draft choices may be brought in by the team for pre-draft visits. Gutekunst stated that the majority come to Green Bay “answering a question” that the Packers have on their scouting report. For some, it’s football questions or off-the-field situations. For others, it’s the fact that they weren’t invited to the NFL Scouti ..read more

Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images The Vikings are likely to wind up with one of a handful of promising but flawed QB prospects. Let’s meet them. There are six quarterbacks who may go in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and I like them all. I think that if any of the six land in the right situation, they can be good NFL quarterbacks, and I would have ranked any of them as the second-best quarterback in last year’s draft after C.J. Stroud. That said, all of them carry some degree of risk, and “the right situation” is different for everyone (woe to whoever lands with Kliff Kingsbury in ..read more

Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images A final cheat sheet for typical Green Bay Packer picks. Draft week has arrived and with it all of the asinine smokescreens. Thankfully, with Green Bay enjoying a very successful 2023, they are not a part of any of that, allowing APC to focus on the more mundane, but frankly more important, storylines of draft season. The first release of my thresholds big board came a few weeks ago, and there have been some changes in the meantime. From a testing perspective, nothing has changed. By the time of first writing, everyone who would test at some point during thi ..read more

Sarah Kloepping/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin / USA TODAY NETWORK General manager Brian Gutekunst seems open to trading up and trading down during draft weekend. The Packers are not quite on the clock, but the Draft is close enough that they might as well be. And Brian Gutekunst and company appear to be ready. Not that he’d say anything else during his press conference, but the Packers GM seemed poised and excited to add more young talent to his already young and talented roster. The only question that really remains is exactly where the Packers will pick. Gutekunst has traded both up and down d ..read more
