Packers Rumors: Will Green Bay Trade Out Of The 1st Round Of The Draft?

The Green Bay Packers are in a unique spot heading into a 2015 NFL Draft chock-full of impact players at their primary position of need (middle linebacker).

According to Bleacher Report's Michelle Bruton, that could very well lead to Green Bay trading down and out of the first round with a team like the New York Jets -- landing the Packers an extra pick while keeping them in line to land a potentially fit such as Clemson's Stephone Anthony:

“It’s a smart move for the Packers, who could be targeting Clemson inside linebacker Stephone Anthony as their first selection. No. 30 is a little high to take him, but No. 37 would be a great value in the second round, plus they’d get a fourth-round selection to boot.”

While landing a fourth-rounder in such a swap may be a bit of the stretch, the Packers could at least land a late-rounder by moving down a mere seven spots.
