Packers Make Bold Draft Move: Big Trade Proposal in the Works
The Green Bay Packers are gearing up for a crucial offseason, looking to add the missing pieces for a Super Bowl run. After making the playoffs in back-to-back years, the team knows it’s close but not quite there yet. One way to get over the hump? A big move in the 2025 NFL Draft.
A new trade prediction suggests the Packers could make a major jump in the first round. Ryan Heckman of Lombardi Ave has proposed a scenario where Green Bay trades up from pick No. 23 to No. 13 by dealing with the Miami Dolphins. In return, the Dolphins would receive the Packers’ No. 23 pick, a 2026 second-round pick, and a fourth-rounder (No. 125) this year.
For Miami, it’s a solid move to gain more draft capital while still landing a quality player later in the round. But for the Packers, it could mean targeting a top-tier talent they wouldn’t otherwise get.
What Could This Mean for Green Bay?
Jumping up 10 spots opens up a lot of possibilities for Green Bay. Could this finally be the year they take a first-round wide receiver? The team’s recent first-round picks have mostly focused on defense and offensive line, but with Jordan Love settling in as the franchise QB, adding a big-time playmaker could be a game-changer.
Here’s a quick look at the Packers’ recent first-round draft history:
– 2018: Jaire Alexander (CB)
– 2019:Rashan Gary (DE), Darnell Savage (S)
– 2020: Jordan Love (QB)
– 2021: Eric Stokes (CB)
– 2022:Quay Walker (LB), Devonte Wyatt (DE)
– 2023: Lukas Van Ness (DE)
-2024: Jordan Morgan (T)
The trend is clear defense and trenches have been the priority. But with the team looking to take the next step offensively, a move up in the draft could shake things up.
The Big Picture
Trading up in the draft would signal that the Packers are all-in on making a deep playoff push. Whether they go for a wide receiver, an elite pass rusher, or another key piece, one thing is clear: Green Bay isn’t content with just being a playoff team. They want a Lombardi Trophy.
Stay tuned things could get very interesting as the draft approaches.
