The Packers once again enjoyed a strong year under head coach Matt LaFleur as they went 11-6 and made the playoffs in 2024. Rather impressively, they managed to win 11 games all while competing in the best division in all of football alongside the Lions (15-2) and Vikings (14-3). Finishing with an offense and defense ranked inside the top 10, it’ll be interesting to see where the Packers end up going with their first-round pick.
