The Green Bay Packers are prime candidates to trade up in this year‘s draft. There are premium wide receivers that are projected to go in the top 15.  Multiple teams who have a need for wide receiver pick twice before the Packers. The Jets, the Saints, and the Eagles all have two draft picks before pick number 22.  This may prompt Green Bay to move up in the draft for either Chris Olave, Jameson Williams, Drake London, or Garrett Wilson. Reports have come out this afternoon that Green Bay is exploring these options: https://twitter.com/tompelissero/status/1519765588549070848?s=21&t=aT19DAi2Guikn2veZ2iatQ often times these type of reports…

The draft is less than 24 hours away and we all know where the Green Bay Packers priorities are.  After losing both Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the off-season, wide receiver is atop their list.  Chris Olave has been a fan favorite of the Packers all off-season.  His route running speaks for itself, and the Packers have gotten used to good route runners in Green Bay (Davante Adams).

DK Metcalf has been at the center of trade talks all off-season long.  With Seattle in the middle of a likely rebuild, paying DK Metcalf top of market value wouldn’t make sense for them.  Limiting as much future cap hits as possible are what teams who are currently rebuilding try to manage.  What these teams also try to do is build up as much draft capital as possible.

The New York Jets have been at the center of wide receiver talk all off-season. Their need for a wide receiver is just as glaring as Green Bay‘s, if not more.  The New York Jets have been pursuing AJ Brown reportedly, We’re all in on the Tyreek Hill sweepstakes, and if Davante Adams wasn’t sold on Las Vegas, the Jets would have been in on that one too. With Deebo Samuel possibly on the trade block, it sounds like the Jets are preparing a massive deal for him: https://twitter.com/vincentfranknfl/status/1519291033032355840?s=21&t=XgPGr8rCO75FCKG6-r9V8w Vincent Frank is a managing editor at Sportsnaut.  However multiple people…
