The Green Bay Packers cannot afford to waste draft picks with how their championship window is right now, and general manager Brian Gutekunst must do what he can to help maximize the team’s draft capital.
With quarterback Aaron Rodgers needing to be surrounded with more proven weapons (but the right weapons), GB’s MO of passing on early pass-catchers may be tested this year.
On defense, depth is needed across all levels, and they certainly can address that at any point. With the secondary and linebacker groups needing the most attention, finding those pieces will be key.
But drafting a player because they’re a hot name can quickly close a championship window, something Green Bay cannot afford with Rodgers’ ticking clock nearing its end.
