The 2024 NFL Draft is 66 days away and the NFL Scouting Combine is right around the corner. Before these prospects run fast in a straight line, it’s time for a new mock draft. Here are the results for the Green Bay Packers from my latest three-round mock draft.
25th overall pick: Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa
If DeJean were to land in Green Bay, Brian Gutekunst and new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley would likely view the Iowa product as a hybrid defensive back. DeJean could man the slot position or play safety, where he could cover a lot of real estate with his easy athleticism. DeJean has good field vision and natural ball skills. With his athleticism, versatility and age (21), DeJean screams future Green Bay Packer.
41st overall pick: Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
The best linebacker in the draft, Cooper has explosive movement skills and flies all over the football field. The Aggie linebacker has an active motor and outstanding closing burst to the ball carrier. Cooper finished this past season with 84 tackles, 17 tackles for loss and eight sacks.
58th overall pick: Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State
Hicks is an active run defender and explodes downhill to meet the ball carrier. The Washington State defensive back has disciplined eyes and arrives on time to disrupt the catch point. Line him up in the box, in the slot or deep, it doesn’t matter, the physicality that Hicks plays with is exactly what Green Bay’s defense needs. Pairing Hicks with DeJean, who can patrol centerfield, while Hicks can play downhill would make for a formidable safety duo.
88th overall pick: Ray Davis, RB, Kentucky
The Temple and Vanderbilt transfer, Davis finished his lone season as a Kentucky Wildcat with 1,129 yards and 14 touchdowns. Davis has outstanding burst and a twitchy lower half that leaves defenders grasping at air. According to Pro Football Focus, Davis racked up 751 yards after contact and forced 51 missed tackles this past season.
91st overall pick: Isaiah Adams, OL, Illinois
A JUCO transfer, Adams started 25 games during his two seasons at Illinois. Adams started games at left tackle, right tackle and left guard. Adams has good short-area quickness and is powerful at the point of contact to move people as a run blocker. He struggled at right tackle this past season, giving up nine sacks, including a two-game stretch where he gave up four sacks and 10 pressures.
