Packers triple dip at safety in 2024 NFL draft: More on Javon Bullard, Evan Williams and Kitan Oladapo packerswire.usatoday.com/lists/packers-…

Breaking down Packers 2024 draft class: Best picks, sleepers, overall assessment packerswire.usatoday.com/lists/breaking…

Javon Bullard is my favorite pick by a good margin. He's everything they needed in the secondary. Likely Week 1 starter next to X. Potential future starter at slot CB. Fearless, energetic, fast, physical, competitive. Big-time hitter. Big-time player in big games. Future captain.

Must have heard 'run and hit' 15 times in #Packers draft pressers/interviews. Certainly a theme of the class. Cooper, Bullard, Hopper, Williams, Oladapo.

The Packers completed 3 trades over the weekend & ended perfectly even on the Rich Hill trade chart:

41 for 45, 168, 190 they gave up 146 points & gained 146
126 + 190 for 111 they gave up 26 points & gained 28
168 + 219 for 163 they gave up 12 points & gained 10

Net: 0 points

Two comps I had for Penn State's Kalen King

Kalen King 5112 191 4.61/4.55

🔹Casey Hayward 5113 192 4.57
🔹Logan Ryan 5111 191 4.56

Hayward/Ryan both landed on Day 2 with their respective teams - but stylistically, size, usage, testing, projection, etc.. Very similar fits

Matt LaFleur mentioned, both in the presser and with Larry McCarren, just how excited he is about MarShawn Lloyd as a weapon out of the backfield. Thought he really flashed running routes in 1-on-1s at the Senior Bowl. Packers think they have something there as a pass-catcher

#Packers drafted 3 safeties

Among drafted safeties in 2024 class:

Javon Bullard: 3rd in PFF coverage grade (88.4)
Evan Williams: Most total stops (35)
Kitan Oladapo: 1st in PFF run defense grade (91.3)

(You'll note coach doesn't use his left arm here. He had surgery last week for a torn pec suffered during a bench press rep. Hence the sling we saw on the first night of the draft)
