Draft will appear in Green Bay in 2025, but the host of the main event out of season will not change how the General Director of Packers Brian Gutekunst approaches the most crucial selection during one of the greatest efforts of building teams.
In fact, Gutekunst said that there are no restrictions related to the utilize of the first round of the team-pomimo of some external theories about Packers who want to avoid trading after the first round or trading in a veteran choice because the draft is in Green Bay.
“Having a sketch in Green Bay really doesn’t change anything as we do it,” said Gutekunst of Indianapolis on Tuesday. “We will do the best for Green Bay Packers. If this is mentioned by choice, we will do it. “
More precisely, Gutekunst said that the team president and general director of Mark Murphy gave him a clear permit to exchange choice.
“Mark really joked one day,” said Gutekunst, Via Tom Silverstein from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “He said,” I want to make sure you know you can exchange this choice. “
Packers currently have number 23 in the first round.
Murphy did not give any directive in the selection process in the first round, and Gutekunst will have the option to exchange from No. 23, if he thinks that adding types can assist Packers or exchange the choice of another team in exchange for a veteran.
The revelation of Gutekunst makes sense from the point of view of football operations. Changing the team’s decision -making process based on the location of the project or the desire to maximally exposure the host team would be stupid. Murphy has already secured the Green Bay project, and the event will be a spectacle – a real holiday of the Gutekunst place called “Mecca” football – regardless of whether Packers choose the first night of the sketch, or not or not.
Gutekunst said he wants more than the current number of seven elections in the project, so trade from No. 23 is strongly on the table.
Let’s also assume that Packers exchanged their choice in the first round for a veteran. Let’s say, for example, Maxx Crosby. The team can easily turn the event into a presentation of the novel Pro Bowl add -on.
Note: Since the employment of Gutekunst in 2018, Packers made at least one choice in the first round of each season.
