The NFL is considering Green Bay, Detroit and Washington, D.C., as the hosts for the 2024 NFL draft. That's the word from Packers President Mark Murphy, who told reporters today that the homes of the Packers, Lions and Commanders are in the running. The NFL owners are expected to choose the site of the 2024 [more]

It would be interesting to see the drft in Green Bay. I have a very hard time believing the NFL will actually give them the venue. Not enough luxury beds for all the celebrities at NFL, Inc, media, players and so on. I don't think they need as much capacity as they would for the Super Bowl but I will believe it when they announce it.

My guess it the draft will be in Detroit. The NFL loves to toss little meaningless breadcrumbs to teams like Green Bay. WTF, I mean the Commodores have not served their penalty time out yet. If it all blows up in Snyder's face the NFL can't look like they are sanctioning his bad behavior.

Yeah, in the past, Goodell has professional suggested big NFL events (and they're trying to make the NFL Draft a big week long event) need a lot of big city things...

Which isn't surprising, but Goodell did that after someone brought up the idea of big NFL events in Green Bay.

In other words, he wasn't directly saying no... but he was totally saying no, sorry.

Now things can always change, and maybe the NFL draft has run the course with the big cities and there isn't another great location

I mean, I don't think you want to be in Washington during an Election year, especially when Congress is investigating the NFL because of the Washington Team Owner, that screams potential P.R. nightmare. Of course they could ignore that, the NFL is good at ignoring that... but are they willing to take the risk that everyone else including the politicians, if ore that and the Washington owners finally gets his stuff in order.

So I expect it to be Detroit.

Though, I also believe Goodell also hinted at that if they ever split up the draft, having a different day in a different city, that Green Bay could be in line then.

Say, Day 1 and Day 2 in Detroit, then day 3 in Green Bay.

Also, Mark Murphy keeps making these public announcements every year, that they're trying and they're finalist, etc etc.

Mark Murphy knows the NFL isn't as likely to give them a shot... so why is he setting up and raising the Packers fans expectations by doing this?

Either
1) He's trying to get an atta boy and get some credit and show he's trying... but I'm not aware of anyone pressuring him for this, but there is a lot of inner Green Bay stuff I'm not aware of.

Or

2) He's raising Packers fans expectations, that some day we'll get the draft, as an attempt to both put more pressure on Goodell to someday select Green Bay, but also make sure fans get excited and truely pack the place should it ever happen.

I think it's #2, which if so, interesting that Murphy is trying to backhanded pressure Goodell, and if so, give him credit for trying. Though if it's #1, then shame on him for just getting our hopes up.

Green Bay DESERVES it. They have shown that a small city can make it in the NFL. It's not fair to punish GB because it's not a "big city". There are PLENTY of hotels that are close. And bars and other "big city" stuff. It's not the Green Bay of 1950.

All these high profile types will want suites. By the time you add up all the corporate bigwigs, media talking heads and NFL teams they probably need 500 suites. As much as GB has grown in the last 30 years they don't have enough 4&5 star rooms. Then there's the premium restaurants they expect to eat at. Krolls only goes so far.
Back to KC, they are considered a small market team too. Their metro is over 2 million people. GB is about 300,000.

Well, they should get the draft in my opinion. Make the rich suckers see what us "PO folks" live like. 😜

But they missed that...

I mean if they do have Day 3 in Green Bay, then great! Just as long as Goodell doesn't try to push the idea that they've crossed Green Bay off their list and never have to do it again.

Though, a great substitute or counter by Murphy might be, to have Day 3 of the Draft every year in Green Bay. That would be a major win, though, I doubt the NFL would go for that.

Either way, I expect them to at least have four media guys and the crew live and in person, even if they switch cities, the rest might be in a studio somewhere.

Zero2Cool (29m) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (1h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (1h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (1h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (1h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (1h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (1h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (1h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (1h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (1h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (1h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (2h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (2h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (2h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (2h) : Packers will get in

beast (2h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (2h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (4h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (5h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (6h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (15h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (15h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (19h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
