Packers get UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu in new Mel Kiper Jr. mock draft

Mel Kiper Jr.’s new mock draft for ESPN has the Green Bay Packers getting UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu at No. 25 overall in the first round of the 2024 draft.

Kiper considered giving the Packers an offensive tackle but instead settled on Latu, who he said has “elite pass-rushing skills” with double-digit sack potential at the next level. The one problem? Latu has a big medical red flag in his draft profile.

From Kiper:

Latu put up 111 quarterback pressures over the past two seasons, racking up 23.
