Packers make a trade with Vikings to move up and take WR Christian Watson

It took until the second day, but the Green Bay Packers got some help for Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers made an aggressive move not long after Friday's second round started, trading up to select North Dakota State receiver Christian Watson, a great size-speed prospect, with the second pick of the second round.

The Packers didn't take long to make a move. After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted defensive end Logan Hall to start the second round, the Packers quickly traded up to No. 34 overall — making a deal with their bitter division rival Minnesota Vikings — and immediately handed in their card with the pick.
