The draft is all about balance. Teams are trying to fill current roster holes, along with also being cognizant of future needs, how the board has fallen when they are on the clock while being mindful of what positions those prospects play, especially within the first few rounds.
All of these considerations are in play for every team, but they can apply to some more than others based on where they are currently from a competitive and roster-building standpoint. For the Green Bay Packers, striking this balance between the present and future, need and value, feels particularly important in 2023.
