Aaron Rodgers contract and 9 other terrible Packers moves Brian Gutekunst regrets

6. Trading up for Amari Rodgers

In need of a wide receiver, the Packers made a bold trade in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, giving up a fourth-rounder to move up for Clemson's Amari Rodgers.

The Packers needed help in the slot, so Rodgers seemed like a natural fit. However, before his rookie season, Rodgers fell down the depth chart after Green Bay traded for Randall Cobb. Rodgers only made four receptions in his rookie season while struggling on special teams.

In 2022, Rodgers had more fumbles than receptions and was released only 10 games into his second season.

5. Not drafting a wide receiver in 2019, 2020

At least the Packers tried to improve their wide receiver corps in 2021. They didn't get help at the position in either the 2019 or 2020 drafts. And it's not like they didn't have opportunities.

Green Bay passed on A.J. Brown and DK Metcalf in the second round of the 2019 draft, although, to Gutekunst's defense, he used that pick on Pro Bowler Elgton Jenkins. But he could've selected one of them with one of the team's two first-round choices.

The Packers also had the chance to draft Terry McLaurin and Tee Higgins.

Coming away with no wide receivers in those two draft classes set the Packers back.
