Packers: Three possible trade partners in 2020 NFL Draft
By Jesse Fry
In a very unique situation, the NFL will conduct a very unique draft. Who are three possible trade partners for the Green Bay Packers?
We are just over a week away from the 2020 NFL Draft. While the draft will be conducted under unique situations, I don’t expect that to slow down any wheeling and dealing when it comes to draft-day trades.
Two drafts into Brian Gutekunst’s tenure as general manager, Gutekunst has shown he’s more than willing to make a deal for the player he likes. He did it in his first draft, moving down then up to obtain Jaire Alexander and he did it again last year moving up to get Darnell Savage.
With the depth on the draft board fitting the Packers‘ biggest need (wide receiver), the team has the potential to move down if they like and still grab a playmaker, or move up to grab a player from a different position group while still getting a talented receiver with one of their later picks.
The Packers can’t just make these deals alone though. The team will need a willing partner in order to complete the transaction. All it takes is just one willing team looking to make a play or gain more picks to a possibly depleted stock.
Here are three realistic trade partners the team might target come April 23.
