Packers must bench polarizing first-round pick after Week 3 disaster

The Green Bay Packers' decision to pass on Cooper DeJean and Graham Barton in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft split opinion. They instead selected Jordan Morgan, believing he could play four positions along the offensive line.

Matt LaFleur may need to rethink that strategy. Green Bay's offensive line delivered an embarrassing performance in the team's humbling 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns, and Morgan's play leaves the Packers with a difficult decision.

Injuries didn't help. Right tackle Zach Tom tried to play through injury, a decision LaFleur admitted was a mistake after Tom managed only one play.
