During the last few days, I have decided to give up on my lofty dreams of trading up into the top 7 and have pretty much lost hope of the Packers trading up at all. I promise you, I'm not angry or upset. The reality is, this franchise, in past years, has often let tradition and close-mindedness cripple them from being innovative which often leaves them years behind other franchises.
However, this offseason has done a lot to change that perception. It saw a complete departure from the ways of McCarthy and Thompson as Matt LaFleur was brought in with a fresh, new philosophy and Brian Gutekunst was finally able to take over the reins of this franchise.
