Packers Credited by Fans for Protecting Jordan Love with Jordan Morgan NFL Draft Pick

Paul Kasabian

The Green Bay Packers have selected Arizona offensive lineman Jordan Morgan with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Morgan, a three-year starter at left tackle, is a sorely needed addition to the Packers' offensive line, especially after Green Bay parted ways with longtime LT David Bakhtiari after 11 seasons.

After the pick, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst praised Morgan's versatility and noted his ability to play at either guard or tackle spot.

The First-team All-Pac-12 member got high grades from Pro Football Focus for his work.

Morgan is also a huge pick-up as young star quarterback Jordan Love continues his ascendance and development. Protecting Love (and giving him weapons) is of paramount importance.

Fans and analysts alike recognized the impact of the pick on Love.

The Morgan pick looks like a good start for Green Bay, but the job isn't nearly done. The Packers will be very busy Friday, with the team picking at No. 41, No. 58, No. 88 and No. 91.
