The NFL Draft is here — but for the Packers, it feels different this year.

In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew breaks down what to expect from Green Bay heading into draft week without a first-round pick — and why the strategy might not be what fans expect.

😬 No First-Round Pick Changes Everything

For the first time in a while:

The Packers won’t be picking on Thursday night

All eyes shift to Pick 52 in the second round

And the excitement — and pressure — feels different

🧠 Where Are the Packers Looking?

From the discussion:

Cornerback still feels like the biggest need

But there’s increasing “smoke” around edge rusher

Defensive line remains a priority in general

👉 The trend:

Multiple mock drafts are pointing toward edge — not just one outlier

👀 Dexter Lawrence Context Still Looms

Even though no move has been made:

The Packers’ need on the defensive line remains obvious

Previous discussion around a player like Dexter Lawrence highlights that gap

The draft becomes another way to address that same issue

🔄 Could the Packers Trade Up?

The answer from the show:

👉 Probably not

Gutekunst typically wants more picks, not fewer

But if the right player falls, a move isn’t impossible

🏈 League-Wide Moves to Watch

The conversation also touches on:

Potential trades (like A.J. Brown after June 1)

How other teams’ moves could impact the Packers

Why this could be an active week across the NFL

🧩 Backup QB Still a Need

One clear takeaway:

👉 The Packers need a better backup quarterback

Options discussed:

Drafting a developmental QB

Trading for a more experienced option
