Packers should select three players in the 2024 NFL Draft.

With three picks among the first 58 overall in the NFL Draft in April, the Green Bay Packers are in a rare position to address multiple problems prior to the 2024 season.

In light of that, the following three players are ones the Packers ought to think about pursuing.

S., Miami’s Kamren Kinchens

The Packers’ lack of safety was evident throughout the whole season, and now that Darnell Savage, Jonathan Owens, and Rudy Ford are all eligible to sign free agents, protecting the position is even more important. Choosing Kinchens would assist in kicking off the reconstruction of a secondary that was in dire need of renovation.

Arguably the most versatile safety in this year’s draft, the former Miami standout plays an aggressive, ball-hawking style that allows him to move all over the field. In the meanwhile, he leads the ACC in interceptions in 2022 and 2023 and is a turnover machine.

Missouri’s Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB

The Packers are worried about safety, but there’s also uncertainty in the cornerback room. Perhaps the only guaranteed thing going into 2024 is Jaire Alexander, who was limited to seven games this season by injuries. Rakestraw meets the bill as a reliable alternative to the two-time Pro Bowler that is needed.

Although he can also be effective in zone packages, Rakestraw is one of the draft’s top corners for man-to-man coverage. In addition, even with his slight 6’0″ and 170 pound physique,

With only two backs signed through 2024—Aaron Jones and Ellis Merriweather—the Packers’ backfield is also in doubt. Jones, who is about to enter the last year of his contract, will probably return on an extension or renegotiated contract, but Green Bay will still need to add a clear successor.

With an ACL tear in November, Brooks may not be able to return to the field until August. Nevertheless, he appeared to be the finest back in the country before to the injury, running for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns in 11 games. His resume isn’t the strongest because he didn’t have the most work at Texas, but his elusive, game-changing abilities should be too good to ignore.
