As the 2020 NFL Draft has drawn to a close after a wild and wacky weekend that consisted of surprisingly no major technical difficulties for the virtual draft, the Green Bay Packers will be welcoming in nine new players to their roster. And while training camps (whenever they end up happening) will help determine the state of the roster for the 2020 NFL season, the future of their top decision-makers are forever tied to this group of players.

By selecting a quarterback (Jordan Love) in the first round, when there were many more pressing needs to help improve the state of this team at the moment, it showed a complete demonstration of faith in the current roster makeup, even though they were absolutely slaughtered by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game.
