The Packers had chances to move up — but they never even tried.

In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Jason Wilde reveals that Green Bay did not seriously consider trading into the first round, choosing instead to stay patient and trust the board heading into Day 2 of the NFL Draft.

🚨 The Key Insight

According to Jason Wilde:

👉 The Packers never picked up the phone to move up

They believed it would be too expensive

They were comfortable staying put

And they like what’s still on the board

🧠 Why the Packers Stayed Put

Even with a trade-heavy first round:

Green Bay trusted their evaluations

They believe quality players will be there at Pick 52

The strategy reflects their long-term approach

📊 Positions to Watch

Wilde highlights three key needs:

Cornerback

Offensive line

Defensive line

👉 Addressing two of these would be a successful night

🔄 Trade Possibilities Still Exist

While they didn’t move up:

The Packers could still trade up or back tonight

Gutey may look to add picks

Flexibility remains a big part of the plan
