The Green Bay Packers have their new rookie class in place. After three intense days, general manager Brian Gutekunst selected 11 total players, five offensive and six defensive pieces.

Check out all the selections:

First round, pick 25 – OL Jordan Morgan, Arizona

The Green Bay Packers made a classic move, taking an athletic, experienced, young prospect with a high ceiling. Morgan played exclusively as a left tackle in college, but he's more frequently projected to be a guard in the NFL.

For the Packers, he might start at right guard from day 1, since Sean Rhyan was the projected option. In the future, though, Morgan can move to tackle if needed.

Second round, pick 45 – LB Edgerrin Cooper, Texas A&M

This is probably the most obviously Packers thing ever. They took an athletic, instinctive linebacker, a position of need, early in the second round after trading down from 41. He's probably a day 1 starter, but Green Bay will have to move Quay Walker to middle linebacker, because Cooper is a weak-side option.

According to PFF, Cooper was 98th percentile in run stop percentage, 97th percentile in run defense grade, 96th percentile in coverage grade, 95th percentile in forced incompletion percentage, and 95th percentile in box coverage grade. This is really impressive, and why he is the best linebacker on the consensus big board.

Second round, pick 58 – S Javon Bullard, Georgia

Brian Gutekunst likes to address needs in the second round, and he did it twice this year. After taking Edgerrin Cooper, he selected Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard, keeping the tradition of adding Bulldogs to the defense — after Eric Stokes, Quay Walker, and Devonte Wyatt.

Bullard is a hard-hitting box safety, which complements well what Xavier McKinney does. He's slightly undersized for what the Packers tend to like, but in this class he ended up as their top option at the position.

Third round, pick 88 – RB Marshawn Lloyd, USC

The Packers keep trying to build a strong young structure around Jordan Love. After signing Josh Jacobs, three years younger than Aaron Jones, in free agency, the Packers took a relatively similar running back in terms of style. Lloyd tends to be better in man blocking schemes, but the Packers have a varied running game and he will have time to develop behind Jacobs and AJ Dillon 

Third round, pick 91 – LB Ty'Ron Hopper, Missouri

When the Packers attack needs in the draft, Brian Gutekunst likes to take more than one shot. And Hopper is the second off-ball linebacker for the team. He's skinny and can be exposed in the run game, but can still be a rotational piece and a special teams contributor.

Fourth round, pick 111 – S Evan Williams, Oregon

The Packers selected another safety on day 3, taking Evan Williams after a trade up with the New York Jets — Green Bay gave up the sixth-round pick (190) it had acquired from the New Orleans Saints. Williams reminds us of Micah Hyde and can play as a box safety, nickel, and even as a subpackage linebacker.

Fifth round, pick 163 – IOL Jacob Monk, Duke

The Packers used picks 168 (5th) and 219 (6th) to move up in the fifth round and select a classic Packers-y type. Monk has a lot of college experience at multiple positions along the offensive line.

And versatility was exactly what attracted the Packers. After the round, Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan said that Green Bay sees Monk as a swing guard/center, even though he can play tackle "in a pinch."

Fifth round, pick 169 – S Kitan Oladapo, Oregon State

As previously mentioned, Brian Gutekunst doesn't shy away from getting multiple players from the same position in a draft. And he did it for the third time with a safety in 2024 when he took Oladapo, a player who is expected to fit Jeff Hafley's scheme and play inside the box.

Sixth round, pick 202 – OT Travis Glover, Georgia State

That's not what the Packers tend to do, but they went for the upside here in the sixth-round pick. Glover is a high-end left tackle with significant college experience, but he has a bad athletic profile and his game is still flawed.

Seventh round, pick 245 – QB Michael Pratt, Tulane

The Packers took Michael Pratt as a developmental quarterback, but he's a fairly clean prospect. He has a solid throwing motion and processing skills. The arm talent is not that great, though, which limits his ceiling. But in the seventh round, you have to be realistic.

Seventh round, pick 255 – CB Kalen King, Penn State

King is a 5-11, 191lbs cornerback. With this profile, he's slated to be a nickel corner in the NFL. But he was the 165th player on the consensus board, so the value was obviously there so late in the process.
