Things were going great for the Green Bay Packers a little more than halfway through round one of the 2020 NFL Draft. The wide receiver run started late. The top four tackles went off the board by 13, but that was no surprise. And a couple of reaches, particularly at cornerback, kept pushing exciting players down into the 20s, making it plausible that the Green Bay Packers could get one of their guys with the 30th pick.
Then, as quickly as Packers fans got their hopes up about landing a thrilling weapon for Aaron Rodgers or an exciting, playmaking linebacker, the board shifted under general manager Brian Gutekunst’s feet.
