2. Packers trade up in second round

For this deal, Green Bay moves up six spots in the second round. The history between these two front offices is known, as they’ve made trades in the past and the Seahawks general manager used to work in Green Bay. That could be the beginning of a draft-day deal.

The Seahawks also need more draft capital and need so desperately. As of now, they have few picks and could want to recoup some additional ones with a trade. For their troubles, the Packers would send over the worst of their fourth-round picks and their lone seventh-round selection. That’s not a bad price at this point in the draft, and it could allow the Packers to target someone they really like and get another playmaker who can contribute in 2021.
