The Green Bay Packers couldn't have dreamed of hitting a bigger home run than they did in last year's draft. Second-rounders Luke Musgrave and Jayden Reed were instant contributors. Third-round pick Tucker Kraft stepped up in the second half of the season in a way we rarely see from rookie tight ends. First-rounder Lukas Van Ness was a backup but showed promise. But it was the Day 3 picks that made this class so special. Fifth-rounder Dontayvion Wicks is a future Pro Bowler, sixth-round choice Karl Brooks looked like a veteran, and seventh-round cornerback Carrington Valentine started 12 games and held his own against some of the league's best receivers, including CeeDee Lamb. It's unlikely the Packers will hit on as many picks this year, but what would make it a 'dream' draft class in 2024?
