The opening night of the 2024 NFL Draft promises to take us on a fascinating journey. Beyond Caleb Williams going first overall to the Chicago Bears, anything is possible. Five or six quarterbacks could go before the Green Bay Packers' top choice, pushing the best players at other positions down the board. Green Bay has the draft capital to make a Day 1 trade to move up the order. General manager Brian Gutekunst may consider it if one of the top cornerbacks or offensive linemen falls far enough. However, there's always the concern of other teams jumping ahead of the Packers in the order. Teams picking after Green Bay are aware of their biggest needs and may make a surprising trade to get ahead of the No. 25 pick. The worst-case scenario would see a division rival making that move. The Detroit Lions hold the 29th pick and share some of the same needs as the Packers, potentially leading to a Round 1 nightmare for Green Bay.
