What Green Bay Packers Could Acquire Trading Back from Pick 28
By Paul Bretl
Green Bay Packers trade back to pick 31 with Cincinnati
Packers receive: picks 31, 136, and 252
Packers trade away: pick 28
Quick Thought: If this scenario were to happen — or either of the previous two mentioned — having an additional fourth-round pick can be very valuable. There are contributors that can be found in that part of the draft, or the Green Bay Packers could use it to trade up later on.
Green Bay Packers trade back to pick 32 with Detroit
Packers receive: picks 32, 97, and 177
Packers trade away: picks 28 and 140
Quick Thought: This trade was made more difficult by the Lions not having a fourth-round pick, which, based on the trade value chart, would have made the swapping of several picks not necessary. Unless Detroit really wants to make sure that no other team gets the player they are fixated on — perhaps a QB? — this trade is unlikely as well. For one, we don’t see trades within a division often, but by not having a fourth-rounder, it required them to part with a third-round pick instead–which they very well could be unwilling to do.
Green Bay Packers trade back to pick 33 with Jacksonville
Packers receive: picks 33 and 106
Packers trade away: picks 28 and 228
Quick Thought: Now that we are into Round 2, teams may be much more willing to move up into the first round because any selection in that round they make comes with a fifth-year option, which is incredibly valuable. This is also something that the Packers would be losing out on by moving back–however, if Green Bay doesn’t have a first-round grade on any of the remaining players, they also don’t want to reach either.
