GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers’ migration to a new 4-3 defensive scheme required another linebacker. They got the best prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting Texas A&M’s Edgerrin Cooper with the 45th overall pick of the second round on Friday night.
“It’s a sigh of relief, knowing how far I came and just ready to step it up at the next level,” Cooper said in a Zoom call. “That’s it, ready to make the next move.”
The Packers were scheduled to pick 41st but traded the pick to the New Orleans Saints.
