Realistic trade-up opportunities for Packers in first round of 2021 NFL draft

Envisioning realistic trade-up scenarios for the Packers in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft.

The Green Bay Packers traded up in the first rounds of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 NFL drafts, making general manager Brian Gutekunst – who holds 10 total picks this year – a good bet to trade up for the fourth straight season to begin his term as the Packers’ roster builder.

Green Bay is currently in possession of the 29th overall pick in the first round.

Gutekunst moved up nine spots in 2018, nine spots in 2019 and four spots in 2020. How could the Packers move up in this year’s draft?

The following exercise won’t be designed to identify which players the Packers could trade up for in the draft. Instead, it will look at the teams and draft picks that make the most sense for trade-up opportunities later this month.
