With double-digit draft picks, the Packers are well-positioned to make trades, should they wish. Additional selections allow them to be flexible on draft day, helping them move up for prospects they love.

The result was a loss of a 2023 first-round pick and 2024 third-rounder.
The Texans and Las Vegas Raiders are tied for the most draft picks with 12, while the Dolphins have a league-low four selections.
