The Green Bay Packers have found previous success with sticking to acquiring talent through the NFL Draft. However, winning 11 games and making a Wild Card appearance in the 2024-25 season has now officially put them in win-now mode.
General manager Brian Gutekunst has made some franchise-altering decisions in the past, bringing the Packers to their current state. But it could be time for a “bigger swing” in the 2025 offseason, according to ESPN's Bill Barnwell.
“I'm not sure teams inherently need high-profile players or that there's anything wrong with the idea of building a roster around depth as opposed to selling out for top-end talent, but the best teams have a balance,” Barnwell wrote.
