How Would Trading Up For McMillan Affect Green Bay’s Draft?
Could this be the year the Green Bay Packers finally take a wide receiver in the first round?
Reports have circulated that Brian Gutekunst was the only GM at a private workout for Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. There’s an incredibly slim chance that McMillan will be available when the Packers pick, opening the door for a potential trade-up for the star wideout.
We’ve seen Gutekunst trade up for Jaire Alexander and Darnell Savage in the first round. It’s certainly not out of the equation. However, the Packers will have to give up a hefty package to get the Arizona star.
The most likely option is at eighth overall. The Carolina Panthers have that pick and a lot of other holes on the roster to fill. A trade back may be in their best interest.
The package I sent to Carolina was the first rounder at 23, a second and third next year, and a sixth and a seventh.
That allowed Green Bay to keep its second-round pick this season, along with a fourth, fifth, and seventh. With only five picks to work with, the Packers will have to make them count. McMillan is a great addition to a playoff team that also plugged holes in free agency.
With that in mind, here is how trading up for Morrison would affect Green Bay’s draft:
