Packers currently own 11th pick in 2019 NFL Draft
As things stand, the Green Bay Packers own the 11th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
With two games to go, the Packers could end up with a top-10 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, one positive to come out of a disappointing season.
After their loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, the Packers fell to 5-8-1, which would currently give them the 11th selection in next year’s draft, according to Tankathon.
If the Packers lose their final two games, it’s still possible they could end up with a selection inside the top five.
With a 5-9 record, the Atlanta Falcons currently own the sixth pick. At 4-10, the Jacksonville Jaguars own the fifth pick.
If Green Bay loses to the New York Jets in Week 16, and the Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Giants, Detroit Lions and Falcons all win, the Packers would enter the final week of the season with the sixth position of the draft.
Green Bay owns two first-round picks, the second coming from the New Orleans Saints during a draft-day trade last year.
As the Saints have already secured a playoff berth, that pick will be no higher than the 21st selection. If New Orleans earns a first-round bye, the pick would be no higher than the 27th selection.
General manager Brian Gutekunst could look to use the additional first-round pick to trade up inside the top-10. He could also go in the other direction and trade out of the first round as the Packers would have already selected earlier in the round.
In what promises to be an interesting offseason for this team, and an important one as Aaron Rodgers enters the final years of his career, Gutekunst’s selections in the draft are going to be so important.

The Packers don’t have much to play for in the final two games of the season, but their results will determine just how high their first-round pick will be in the upcoming draft.
