Green Bay Packers Draft: Every First-Round Trade Over The Last 17 Years as….
The Green Bay Packers aren’t afraid to pull the trigger on some pretty significant trades. That has been evident over the last few years with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams being traded away in back-to-back off-seasons.
While the Packers didn’t make a trade this off-season (yet), they directly replaced Aaron Jones with Josh Jacobs. As we look ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft, here is a list of their first-round trades over the last 17 years.
The pre-draft hype around Iowa defensive back Cooper DeJean has been strong, but it hit another level on Monday after his personal pro day. DeJean stunned fans and experts alike with a blazing 40-yard dash time, impressive vertical jump and NFL-ready measurables.
That’s unfortunate for the Green Bay Packers, who’ve been thought of as a player for DeJean. They still could be, but it’s likely they’ll need to move up now from No. 25 to get him to Lambeau.
That could make Mickey Loomis open to a move down from No. 14 overall. While that’s a premium selection, New Orleans is also lacking good draft capital overall in 2024, with zero picks in the third or fourth rounds. Those are great spots to look for possible value guys who can help a playoff contender for much less than a Day 1 or Day 2 guy.
