The Green Bay Packers are always scouting college football players during each NFL season. In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Packers took offensive tackle Jordan Morgan from Arizona with the 25th overall selection.
This selection surprised other Green Bay Packers fans because there were other defensive backs available with this selection. To start the 2024 season, it appears as if Jordan Morgan will be riding the bench. Morgan was drafted to be the starting left tackle potentially, but Rasheed Walker is most likely going to win the job. Walker was the starting left tackle for most of last season.
Even though the Green Bay Packers will be a Super Bowl contender this season, they will have some weaknesses on the roster. The 2024 season will tell what they need in the 2025 NFL Draft.
One Player Green Bay Packers Fans Should Watch For During the 2024 College Football Season Is Ohio State Buckeyes Tackle Josh Simmons
Pro Football Focus writer Trevor Sikkema wrote an article about which college football player each NFL team should watch for during the 2024 college football season. The player the Green Bay Packers should watch for this season is Ohio State Buckeyes offensive tackle, Josh Simmons.
Sikkema said about Simmons:
“Simmons is a former three-star recruit who started his career at San Diego State before transferring to Ohio State to be the team’s left tackle. He’s a bit shorter than average, at 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, but his arm length looks longer than his height suggests. Simmons also has great knee bend and balance, quick footwork and a patient pass-blocking style. I am a big fan of his potential and could see him being a Packers type of player if Jordan Morgan ends up at guard.”
The odds are that the Green Bay Packers may not need to draft an offensive lineman in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. There might be a much bigger need for the cornerback position in the 2025 NFL Draft. There is a chance that Green Bay might not have Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes on the 53-man roster in the 2025 season.
The Packers did not address the cornerback position in the 2024 NFL Draft effectively. The only cornerback they selected in the 2024 NFL Draft was Kalen King in the seventh round. Green Bay’s offensive line may not be an issue once the 2024 season ends.
