The window is open. Can the Packers make the right moves?
The Packers’ foundation is strong, but the stakes are high for this weekend’s NFL Draft.
Last year’s exciting finish was amazing and spoke of the potential for big things to come. Jordan Love and the Packers’ offense was firing on all cylinders, and they had a real opportunity to go to the NFC Championship before miscues down the stretch doomed their upset bid in San Francisco.
But if they’re hoping for more, they need more contributors out of this year’s draft class.
As good as things looked down the stretch, there were holes on the 2023 team and they remain despite the Packers’ offseason moves. Xavier McKinney is a huge upgrade in the secondary, but he needs help, and so does Quay Walker at linebacker. For that matter, you can file most of the offensive line under “needs help,” if only from a depth perspective.
None of this should be news to Brian Gutekunst and company, and they’ll no doubt be able to address many if not all of these issues with their eleven draft picks. But the degree to which they’re able to upgrade their roster will determine a lot about this promising young Packers team moving forward.
