Green Bay Packers 3 Best Options Late In The NFL Draft
The Green Bay Packers have a total of 11 draft picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. To usher in the Jordan Love era in Green Bay the Packers have placed some quality selections in the later stages of the draft. Once again in the draft, the Packers have the opportunity to hit with some quality day 2 and 3 picks.
#3 Frank Gore Jr.
The name should be familiar to anyone who has followed football for some time. The son of future Hall of Fame running back Frank Gore is a talented running back himself.
Though playing against questionable competition, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles running back tallied 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons totaling 21 touchdowns in that same frame. Measuring 5’7 200 pounds the underrated running back sports a sturdy frame that is hard to knock off balance. Has a seemingly natural knack for finding running lanes and working through tackles to pick up the extra yard.
The Green Bay Packers have good reason to find a running back option to support star Aaron Jones, as he is losing his running mate AJ Dillon and is set to turn 30 by the end of the 2024-25 season.
#2 Mason McCormick
At 6’4 309 lbs the guard from South Dakota State sports an impressive athletism with a stunning 9.97 RAS. As a three-year team captain starting in 57 games, Mason McCormick is an experienced and reliable option in the late rounds with a high floor. He displays high IQ in stunts and pulls, making him adept at the NFL techniques in the run game.
Mason McCormick would be an option at guard in year one for the Green Bay Packers. With John Runyan Jr potentially on the move, the Packers will be looking for depth and support on the internal offensive line.
#1 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus is a versatile option late in the NFL Draft from the University of Oregon Ducks. The 6’3 272 pound defensive lineman at a unique size that is hard to classify cleanly. With the strength of an interior lineman and the hand skills of an edge, Brandon Dorlus is a couple of steps away from being an unsolvable puzzle piece for an offensive lineman.
The Green Bay Packers will likely look for depth all along the defensive line in the NFL Draft. With Brandon Dorlus they may be able to etch him into multiple spots on the depth chart.
