When it all comes down to it, pretty much nobody outside of Brian Gutekunst knows what Brian Gutekunst is going to do in less than two weeks in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
That doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun trying to predict the move though.
Mock drafts are often either mocked (pardon the pun) or enjoyed by readers but in reality all they really do is provide an interesting basis of discussion and that’s what today’s edition of cheese curds will serve as.
Last year it was basically unanimous that the Green Bay Packers would select a wide receiver. Gutekunst of course in reality selected quarterback Jordan Love. It was a case study in why mock drafts should be taken at face value and not as gospel truth.
So how about this year? Is there some kind of consensus amongst the countless mock drafts on who or even what position the Packers could be targeting at 29, presuming they stay there?
Wide receiver once again seems to be a popular prediction given the questions regarding Aaron Rodgers’ future with the team, but linebacker and offensive tackle are also popular choices.
Which brings us back to the original point. NOBODY KNOWS.
So let’s have some fun in the comments below. Meanwhile here are the rest of today’s cheese curds.
