Cheese Curds, 4/5: Will Packers make draft-day moves to get a preferred receiver?

For only the second time in recent memory, the Green Bay Packers will enter draft weekend with two first-round draft picks. The team did so in 2019, drafting Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage, but there are few other examples of the Packers having two first-rounders — or even trading back up into round one on draft day to make a second selection.

With four picks in the top 60 and seven in the first 140, however, a trade up seems entirely plausible if the Packers zero in on a specific player, particularly a wide receiver. This year’s class will have plenty of intriguing options, and a move up seems entirely feasible given the amount of capital the team has this year.

But if they do make a move, who would they go for? A player like Chris Olave might be able to be a major contributor as a rookie. Drake London is a little closer to the Packers’ typical size preferences. And then there’s a versatile wild card in Treylon Burks. But who they might go for and how far they might need to move up to get him is very much to be announced.

As we close in on three weeks to go until the draft, today’s curds bring us a good look at how far the Packers could move up in round one should they choose to do so.
