Earlier this week, the All-Packers team of the 2024 NFL Draft was put together, identifying the best prospects who are likely to be in play for Green Bay, based on their usual athletic standards at each position.

Now it is time to crush some dreams. Here is a full starting lineup of the best players (disregarding the players who will be long gone before the Packers first pick at 25) who will probably not end up wearing the green and gold.

QB - Spencer Rattler

Disregarding the top quarterbacks, whom for obvious reasons, the Packers will not be drafting, Rattler is the best QB Green Bay will likely not have an interest in.

Rattler is a fun project with a big time arm, but is much smaller (6’0, 211 lbs) and slower (4.95 40 yard dash) than they like. The Packers have not selected a quarterback shorter than 6’2 or lighted than 218 lbs in the Gutekunst/Thompson era.

RB - Blake Corum

Corum is a very good, natural runner with a lot to like, but he is under 5’8, is 24 years old and has had multiple knee injuries. Whoever takes him may get a steal, but it won't be Green Bay.

WR - Keon Coleman

WR - Troy Franklin

SLWR - Xavier Worthy

Coleman is a ‘Packers type’ in that he is a big receiver at 6’3, 213 lbs, but the pedestrian 4.61 40 he ran at the combine is likely going to be too slow for Green Bay, and with no agility testing to ease those movement ability concerns, he is probably off the board.

Franklin tested excellently but is 176 lbs. The floor for the Packers under Gutekunst has been 187 lbs.

The new record holder for fastest 40 time, Worthy weighed in at an extremely light 165 lbs. Green Bay simply are not going to go there.

TE - Brevyn Spann-Ford

Spann-Ford is plenty big enough to be a Packers tight end, but his 40 time, agility testing and broad jump scores are all worse than any player Gutekunst has drafted. It is no great loss, as Spann-Ford is a late-round prospect.

LT - Patrick Paul

LG - Cooper Beebe

C - Jackson Powers-Johnson

RG - Christian Haynes

RT - J.C. Latham

Unlike at most other positions, the Packers do not like their linemen too big, especially at tackle, allowing them to kick inside to guard if required. They generally like offensive line prospects to be between 6’4 and 6’6, 300 and 320 lbs.

Paul is extremely athletic, which the Green Bay will like, but at over 6’7 and 331 lbs, he would be taller and heavier than any tackle they have drafted under the current and previous GM.

On the right side, Latham is another jumbo tackle at 342 lbs, likely making him too heavy for the Packers. He did not do any athletic testing whatsoever, indicating it may have actually hurt his draft stock if he did.

Moving to the interior, Beebe has the tackle experience Green Bay has coveted in guard prospects, but he may be too short (6’3) and just a bit too heavy (322 lbs). Haynes is short at  under 6’3, did not do the agility testing and has never played anywhere but guard.

Powers-Johnson, while an excellent center prospect, did not run the 40 or do agility testing in the pre-draft process, and is 328 lbs.

DL - Byron Murphy

DL - Johnny Newton

The consensus top two defensive tackles in the class will likely not be Packers. Murphy is an incredible player and a top tier athlete, but is a true outlier in terms of size at just over 6’0. Gutekunst has preferred his defensive linemen to be at least 6’2 ½.

Newton is also on the shorter side at a tick over 6’1 ½, and has not done any athletic testing due to injury.

EDGE - Jonah Elliss

EDGE - Gabriel Murphy

At edge, bigger is better as far as the Packers are concerned, and these two pass rushers both fall short. Elliss is an absolute joy to watch but at barely over 6’2, is probably not going to be a consideration. He also did not run 40.

Murphy tested excellently across the board, but is only slightly taller than Elliss and has very short arms at 30.5”. The absolute floor for Green Bay seems to be 32”.

LB - Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

LB - Junior Colson

Two of the better prospects in their position group in terms of instincts for the position, Trotter and Colson are unlikely to end up with the linebacker-needy Packers.

Trotter is 6’0 on the nose, and Gutekunst has not drafted a linebacker shorter than 6’1. He did not run a 40 or complete the vert or broad jump either.

Colson has not been able to test at all due to injury, so he would probably have to fall quite a way from his consensus 53 overall ranking for the Packers to draft him.

CB - Ennis Rakestraw Jr.

CB - Kamari Lassiter

SLCB - Mike Sainristil

An argument can be made that all three of these corners will have to play in the slot at the next level, and Green Bay are not likely to be the team that selects them.

Rakestraw is a competitive corner and one any defensive coordinator would love to have, but he is 183lbs (the Packers prefer corners in the 190s) and his other athletic testing was so-so.

Lassiter’s 4.64 40, weight (186 lbs) and incomplete testing are likely to disqualify him, while Sainristil is a premier athlete and hits every threshold the Packers like… except he is under 5’9 ⅓ and is 182 lbs.

S - Tyler Nubin

S - Kamren Kinchens

Two of the biggest draft crushes of Packers fans until they massively disappointed in the athletic testing, Nubin and Kinchens are almost certainly off Green Bay’s board, or at least the team will not be willing to select them before someone else is.

Nubin simply should not have tested coming off an injury, but did so and in the process may have tanked his draft stock, putting up a 3.72 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) out of a possible 10, while Kinchens fared even worse with only a 2.43 RAS.
