Packers Must Avoid the Draft Day Squeeze

What if I told you that the space-time continuum suddenly changed and the Packers announced the following trade: Green Bay receives Jason Spriggs, Oren Burks and Amari Rodgers in exchange for a second, a third, two fourths, a fifth and a seventh round draft pick. Seven picks total. You’d probably sell your shares. Hell, you might even become a Bears fan.

Well, that’s what happened during the draft, just not all at once.

This is hindsight, of course, and those players turned out to be busts. Which is not the biggest problem here. Since the days of Ron Wolf, the Packers’ front office has been solidly above average at talent evaluation.
