The Packers have $21.8M of 2024 salary cap space today.

After the draft, signing UDFAs & filling the roster to 90 players, and De'Vondre Campbell coming off the books on June 2 - the Packers will be closer to $28M of cap space.

Room to frontload some of the Jordan Love deal!

A look at the Packers 2024 roster in a potential 53-man form as currently constructed heading into the draft.

Packers have 11 draft picks and room for 7 undrafted or post draft signings.

I'm most curious how the areas I highlighted potentially change after this weekend. 🤔🤔🤔

If your team needs a quarterback, nothing else matters

On draft night I’m usually on Twitter seeing the picks get tipped before they are shown on NFLN/ESPN.

But as soon as the Packers are on the clock I close my laptop and put my phone down. Nothing beats the excitement of those 10 minutes wondering who the newest Packer will be!

It’s almost like the Packers are a draft & develop team and prioritize maximizing draft capital to build their team.

A rebuild gets a lot shorter if you nail a draft class - see 2023 Packers & Texans.

21 year old draft options for the Packers at #25:

Safety: Cooper DeJean
Offensive Line: Amarius Mims, Jackson Powers-Johnson, Graham Barton, Kingsley Suamataia
Defensive Line: Byron Murphy, Johnny Newton
Edge: Chop Robinson
Corner: Nate Wiggins (20 👀), Kool-Aid McKinstry

Brian Gutekunst fixes his roster holes by buying in bulk using both free agency & the draft to fill his needs (when the team isn't in cap hell that is)

2018: Sign Tramon & House - Draft Jaire & Jackson 1st & 2nd round
2019: Sign Smith Bros, Amos, Turner - Draft Gary, Savage,

I'll answer my own questions:

1⃣ I want them to draft the best available OL who has position versatility.
2⃣ I think they try to get Cooper DeJean, maybe even trying to trade up.
3⃣ I am not interested in any LB, RB, WR, TE
4⃣ Would love to get a 2025 1st by moving, but unlikely

You want five guys you can absolutely for certain know the Packers will never draft? Here you go.

I can't decide who goes on my 2024 'No Matter What' post-it this year...

As of right now it's probably between:

Amarius Mims, OT
Cooper DeJean, DB
Graham Barton, OL
Tyler Guyton, OT

If the Packers make all 11 draft picks this weekend, they will have roster room to sign 7 undrafted free agents.

Packers 1st Round Draft - Fill in the Blank:

1⃣I want the Packers to draft ____ (player/position)
2⃣The Packers will draft ____ (player/position)
3⃣I don't want the Packers to draft ____ (player/position)
4⃣If the Packers trade back out of the 1st round I would be ____ (emotion)

If the Packers stay put at #25 then I suspect their guy is on this list:

Jared Verse, Edge
Troy Fautanu, OL
Byron Murphy II, DT
Amarius Mims, OT
Cooper DeJean, DB
'Johnny' Newton, DT
'Chop' Robinson, Edge
Graham Barton, OL
Tyler Guyton, OT
'Kool-Aid' McKinstry, CB

Excellent

1 down, 1 to go
