Packers' Draft Strategy: Priorities & Day-Three Gems

On March 23rd, the NFL draft starts April 24th in Pittsburgh, just 32 days away, and the

Green Bay Packers already know their priorities.

With compensatory picks locked in for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6 rounds in 2027, the team

won't chase big free agents before.

The draft to avoid messing up those extras.

Any veteran adds would likely wait until after the com formula deadline in May once the

rookie class is set.

This offseason wasn't about heavy spending anyway, expect that push may be in 2027 instead.

Packers fans have mixed feelings on general manager Brian Guderkund's free agency moves.

Hits like safety, Xavier McKinney in 2024, and running back Josh Myers have paid off,

along with solid picks from the 2019 class.

The 2025 signing spell short, though, with cornerback Nate Hobbs out the door quick, and

tackle Aaron Banks still finding his groove, could bounce back if he stays healthy.

Going forward, Guderkund's draft savvy will shape the 2026 depth, especially his

knack for day 3 gems like that stellar 20, 22 group carrying the load lately.
