It was a stunning move when it was announced, and that was before the player’s name was even read off.
Within minutes of the second round getting underway Saturday, news broke that the Green Bay Packers were not only trading up, but that their trade partners were the Minnesota Vikings. That was a stunner to kick off the second day of the draft but it wasn’t the only surprise to come out of that story.
The Packers jumped up all the way to the 34th pick, giving up the 53rd and 59th selections.
