After trading up in the first round of each of his first three drafts in charge, Green Bay Packers GM Brian Gutekunst let the board come to him this year, choosing to stay put for the first and second rounds.

The Packers entered this week with seven day three picks, of which they still have six after giving up their 135th overall pick in order to move up seven spots for Clemson WR Amari Rodgers.

From a salary cap perspective, it made sense to retain most of their day three picks.
