The Green Bay Packersfront office canât seem to learn from their mistakes. Once again, they didnât use any of their first-round picks on an offensive player, taking a LB and a DT instead of addressing their desperate need for a wide receiver.
The Packers raved about how they wanted to add more speed and size now that Davante Adams was gone and how they were scouting guys in the first round. Yet, they didnât make any moves.
Moreover, veteran wideouts A.J. Brown and Marquise Brown were also traded mid-Draft, while the Packers stood put. Per Aaron Rodgers, itâs all because other teams donât want to trade with them.

âI think weâve been in the mix with some of these guys. Thatâs what it seems like,â Rodgers said on The Pat McAfee Show. âNow, thereâsnot a lot of teamsthat probably want to trade receivers to Green Bay.â
âI think weâre probably at the back of the line for a lot of these teams as far as our picks are usually late and nobody wants to trade in the (conference), a guy like Deebo (Samuel) probably,â Rodgers added.

On that same note, Rodgers claimed that itâs unlikely that the Packers will get Deebo Samuel. On one hand, the Niners wonât want to trade him to a direct rival. On the other, the Packers wonât want to pay him:
âI think if youâre not going to pay Davante â obviously we traded him; he wanted to move on â but going out and paying another guy I donât know if that makes a ton of sense,â Rodgers continued.
âNow there are some veteran guys out there that I think could be possibilities, and also we have two picks in the second round tomorrow, and Iâm sure there are some guys on the board that they probably like,â Rodgers added. âYeah, I feel like weâve been in the mix, but does San Fran want to tradeDeebo Samuelto us? Probably not.â
At the end of the day, the Packers boast a receiving corps ofAllen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, and Amari Rodgers. But if someone can do a lot with little, thatâs definitely number 12.
