So, there's this talk about there is no way the Packers will trade their 1st round pick because the draft is in Green Bay. I've read this numerous times. I have also read quotes like the following.

"Mark actually made a joke the other day. He said, 'I want to make sure you know you can trade that pick.'" - Brian Gutekunst

"Having the draft in Green Bay really doesn't change anything for how we go about that. We're going to do what's best for the Green Bay Packers. If that's trading out of the pick, we're going to do it." - Brian Gutekunst

Granted, it's not like either will come out saying "We trading that 23rd overall pick to whoever wants it!"

It seems like really poor business to have an opportunity to land a player who could turn your franchise from good to great, solely because the draft is being held in your city. It makes zero sense to me. Wouldn't a long playoff run, even Super Bowl be better business? 1st round pick, no Super Bowl. No first round pick, Super Bowl. I bet everyone in that organization and every single fan would say the latter.

So, I ask you. Why would it matter to the Packers about their 1st round pick because of the draft being in Green Bay? I'm thinking it's more likely the Packers try to trade back from the 1st round and attempt to acquire more day two picks.

The fifth year option seems to be rather high for most of these guys and not worth it...so why not trade down.

Go Packers!!!!

If they do package their 1st rounder in a trade (say for Crosby or Garrett or whatever), then have that player announce the day 2 picks (whichever ones they have). Fans get a glimpse of the new guy, crowd gets fired up for GBs pick and the draft pick(s) gets a royal welcome. See? Easy.

If the right situation comes along, Gute takes the shot. If he does I hope it's before I sit around all night.

Tyler Booker said something that was definitely studly at the combine.

"I make guys not love football anymore."

I don't know if he will be there at 23, but I'm not complaining if we take him as our 1st round pick.

He's a guard from Alabama.
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (3h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.
dfosterf (5h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo
Zero2Cool (7h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha
wpr (7h) : Tomorrow is almost here.
packerfanoutwest (7h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?
packerfanoutwest (7h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him
Zero2Cool (9h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.
packerfanoutwest (20h) : don't care
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?
packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
