What Green Bay Packers Could Acquire Trading Back from Pick 28
By Paul Bretl
Green Bay Packers trade back to pick 34 with Detroit
Packers receive: picks 34 and 97
Packers trade away: picks 28 and 228
Quick Thought: Same as before, we have to wonder if an inter-division trade is a real possibility, but for the potentially quarterback-hungry Lions, they may be more concerned with getting their guy and securing that fifth-year option.
Green Bay Packers trade back to pick 35 with New York Jets
Packers receive: picks 35, 111, and 163
Packers trade away: pick 28
Quick Thought: This is a strong haul for the Green Bay Packers, who net an early fourth-round pick, where Day 1 contributors can still be found, and an additional fifth-round pick. And like before, both picks could be used to trade up later in the draft as well.
Green Bay Packers trade back to pick 36 with New York Giants
Packers receive: picks 36, 112, and 147
Packers trade away: pick 28
Quick Thought: Of course, as we move back, the trade packages become sweeter in an effort to create an even deal–however, it’s worth asking, will the Packers be willing to move back this far? Moving back eight spots is a decent drop. In this scenario, Green Bay likely has several different players who they value somewhat similarly.
Green Bay Packers trade back to pick 37 with Houston
Packers receive: picks 37 and 80
Packers trade away: picks 27 and 171
Quick Thought: This trade would net the Packers an additional third round pick, where they’ll have the opportunity to land another Day 1 contributor, or instead, they could use one of those third round picks to trade up from 53 or 59 if needed. For the reasons previously mentioned, my guess is that the Packers would be unwilling to move back this far. Although at this stage of the draft the Packers are acquiring more premium picks, moving back to this point in the draft comes with risks as well—most notably missing out on one of the prospects Green Bay covets.
