How likely is first-round trade for Packers? Trade down more probable than trade up

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has not been reluctant to wheel and deal in previous drafts, moving up or down to where he feels the board is strong.

In his first draft, Gutekunst traded back and then back up again in the first round, before selecting Jaire Alexander. He also traded up for Jordan Love in the 2020 draft. How likely is he to move from pick 23 this year, and will it be a trade up or down?

In truth, a trade up feels less likely than ever this year. The conventional wisdom is that this is not a particularly good year to have a high-ish pick, as the difference in quality between players is not vast once the few elite prospects have gone.
