The Packers had chances to move — but they didn’t.
In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Jason Wilde breaks down Green Bay’s decision to stay out of the first round entirely, revealing that Brian Gutekunst and the front office never even seriously considered trading up.
🚨 The Big Reveal
Jason Wilde shares:
👉 The Packers didn’t even pick up the phone to move into Round 1
They knew it would be too expensive
They stayed disciplined
And stuck to their board
🧠 Why Gutey Stayed Put
Despite a chaotic, trade-heavy first round:
Green Bay felt confident in their position
The board didn’t force their hand
And they believe value will still be there at Pick 52
👉 The message: trust the process
👀 Why This Draft Feels Different
No first-round pick creates a different energy
Less immediate impact, more patience required
But internally:
👉 The Packers feel GOOD about who could fall to them
📊 Positions That Matter Most
Wilde outlines three key areas:
Cornerback
Offensive line
Defensive line
👉 Addressing two of those would be a win
🔄 Trade Possibilities Still Alive
Even without a first-round move:
Packers could trade up or down tonight
Gutey still likely to maneuver
Could add picks later in the draft
