When should the Packers break their NFL Draft tendencies?

Brian Gutekunst and the Packers have a pretty strong record of organizational offseason tendencies.

Gutekunst loves big, fast receivers (who doesn’t?) and rarely considers players outside specific height/weight/speed parameters. As an organization, the Packers seem fundamentally opposed to taking such players in the first round, though, preferring to mine the later rounds for that kind of prospect. The Packers also love athletes in general — there’s a good reason we spend so much time talking about Relative Athletic Scores in the spring. And along those lines, they have very strongly defined tendencies for their offensive line draft picks, preferring guys that meet pretty stringent guidelines for movement-related athletic testing.
