From the article

We've seen almost nothing from the Packers' 2024 third-round pick since an explosive final college season at USC. In the NFL? One game. Lloyd rushed for 15 yards on six attempts and caught one pass for three yards in a Week 2 win over the Colts in 2024. Injuries have persistently followed since. We don't know whether Lloyd can stay healthy. We don't know whether he can handle anything resembling a featured workload. Overdrafting him in the fifth, sixth or seventh round would be an overreaction given all the different ways this pick could go sideways.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Lloyd's injury history and one-game NFL resume create bust risk; avoid early-round overdraft.

Lloyd carries significant downside risk: he has played only one NFL game (15 rushing yards on six attempts, one catch for three yards in Week 2 vs. Colts in 2024) despite being a 2024 third-round pick; injuries have persistently followed; it is unknown whether he can stay healthy, handle a featured workload, or fit the Tier 1 workhorse role he didn't even fit in college. The source warns against overdrafting him in rounds 5-7 given the multiple ways the pick could go sideways, including the possibility that Green Bay signs a veteran off the street if the committee underachieves.
