About this listen

 The NFL Draft is here — but for the Packers, it feels different this year. In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew breaks down what to expect from Green Bay heading into draft week without a first-round pick — and why the strategy might not be what fans expect. 😬 No First-Round Pick Changes Everything For the first time in a while: The Packers won’t be picking on Thursday night All eyes shift to Pick 52 in the second round And the excitement — and pressure — feels different 🧠 Where Are the Packers Looking? From the discussion: Cornerback still feels like the biggest need But there’s increasing “smoke” around edge rusher Defensive line remains a priority in general 👉 The trend: Multiple mock drafts are pointing toward edge — not just one outlier 👀 Dexter Lawrence Context Still Looms Even though no move has been made: The Packers’ need on the defensive line remains obvious Previous discussion around a player like Dexter Lawrence highlights that gap The draft becomes another way to address that same issue 🔄 Could the Packers Trade Up? The answer from the show: 👉 Probably not Gutekunst typically wants more picks, not fewer But if the right player falls, a move isn’t impossible 🏈 League-Wide Moves to Watch The conversation also touches on: Potential trades (like A.J. Brown after June 1) How other teams’ moves could impact the Packers Why this could be an active week across the NFL 🧩 Backup QB Still a Need One clear takeaway: 👉 The Packers need a better backup quarterback Options discussed: Drafting a developmental QB Trading for a more experienced option
