This seems a touch low for a team that went 13-3 and played in the NFC championship game last year. However, Green Bay has some distinct flaws that they opted not to address in favor of selecting Utah State quarterback Jordan Love in the first round. Head coach Matt LaFleur is also aiming to overhaul the offense in an offseason hampered by COVID-19 shutdowns. It’s hard to imagine Green Bay is still inside the top 10 by the time they visit Levi’s Stadium.

Key quote:

“The front office responded to this deficit by signing Devin Funchess to a one-year, $2.5 million deal, and selecting precisely zero wide receivers with their nine draft picks.”
