DeShone Kizer to Packers makes more sense as trade talk than pick

GREEN BAY, Wis. – It would be a stunner considering Aaron Rodgers is their starter and will be for years to come, but the Green Bay Packers may be considering a quarterback with the first pick on Day 2 of the NFL draft.

DeShone Kizer of Notre Dame has been discussed as possible selection for the Packers, sources said, confirming what the NFL Network reported on Friday.

At first glance, that would seem like an odd choice for general manager Ted Thompson at No. 33 overall – a pick he acquired from the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night after he traded out of the first round.
