Hot Take alert! Ted Thompson and the Green Bay Packers could go a number of different routes in this week’s NFL Draft. But what are a few of the bolder moves Green Bay’s front office could make?

As we get closer and closer to the 2017 NFL Draft, fans prepare themselves for a multitude of scenarios. We in Packerland are wondering if Thompson will finally be able to fortify the team’s defense and help Aaron Rodgers get Green Bay over the hump and back to another Super Bowl.

What’s maybe most fun about the final week of draft preparation, though, are the wild and outlandish rumors that begin to pop up everywhere. Will the Browns really take Mitchell Trubisky with the top overall pick? What teams will trade up into the top 10? Which prospects are going to rise and fall come draft day?

With hot takes abound in the final days before teams make their official selections, let’s take a look at five of the bolder moves Thompson (who, admittedly, isn’t the boldest GM around) could look to make during the upcoming draft.
