The Green Bay Packers had 11 draft picks in 2013. They were aiming to return to the Super Bowl after winning a championship only a few years before.

The Packers were coming off an 11-5 season in 2012 but were dominated by Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round.

Green Bay entered the draft with needs at linebacker, defensive line, and running back, among others.
