Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline has meticulously reported on the NFL draft since his days back as a writer for Sports Illustrated. This year, he wrote daily reports on which teams appeared to show interest in specific players during the pro day circuit — which obviously included some notes about the Green Bay Packers.
Interestingly enough, of the 14 players that were linked to the Packers in Pauline’s reports, 8 of them were edge rusher prospects.
Based on Pauline’s reports and Green Bay’s reported visits with 2023 NFL Draft prospects, it shouldn’t be a surprise if 1) the Packers are in the edge rusher market this week and 2) general manager Brian Gutekunst thinks the sweet spot for the position is in the second round or on Day 3 of the draft.
