It's a good year to have more selections for adding cheap talent to the roster.
I still wouldn't be shocked if Gute uses NEXT year picks given the known compensation coming back to really move in this draft or pump another pick or so. Could see a trade back + some moving back up in a round or two honestly. TONS of draft capital...not as much as some teams but very balanced depth of picks.
I wonder if he pairs a few picks and next years first to jump up and get an elite WR... Kinda like Atlanta getting Julio.
IF he does this I think it is not in the 1st round but the second. I squarely think it will be Newsome or Samuel in the first...BUT he does appear to love Rondale Moore -
Say we get Newsome or Samuel - there are two WRs I am personally okay with him trading some serious capital for if they make it past the first round say...Rashad Bateman and Terrence Marshal. I would also say Nico Collins and Gute may include Moore in as well. The seahawks pick at 56 is a spot with their limited picks and perhaps us LOVING a guy dropping I'd swing for it, send a 2nd round from 2022 and a 5th and 6th this year or a 4th and 5th this year. I know I'd give up that for the right guy...shoot I do just that in my latest mock HERE
If the packers left the draft with Samuel/Newsome and Moore I would be ecstatic. All are terrific fits for what we do.
I don't see 2 of those three happening. None of them are there at 62, which means we've traded up arguably back into the top 40 IMO to nab the second one. There is a solid chance none of them are there at 33 even....Moore has the most likely scenario of hitting the 40s than the other two IMO.
If we want a WR of the future trading up into the 50s a guy like Nico Collins could be right there for the taking.
I would be very surprised if Gutekunst would mortgage the future by trading a 1st round pick in 22 plus a few picks for a potential #1 WR when he already has one of the best in the league and an offense that has already maxed out efficiency. Sounds more like something Cincinnati would do.I wonder if he pairs a few picks and next years first to jump up and get an elite WR... Kinda like Atlanta getting Julio.

I hope not!
The Falcons wrecked the depth of their roster for years after they made that move.
All that draft capital that they gave up for Julio led to their demise in 2013-2015. 4, 6, and 8 wins respectively.
The wide receiver position is not even remotely close to being worth a move like that.
I believe the / between Samuel & Newsome means either or. So he is hoping to get 1 of those 2 plus Moore.
Obviously this is hypothetical, and we're a historically conservative franchise. So it won't happen. BUT... This is a win-now team... Personally, I'd rather we sacrifice the future to bolster the roster for another run. I haven't looked at the talent available, is there a WR that is a can't miss prospect this year?
Also, did you know that AJ Green was drafted ahead of Julio? I didn't until recently. Crazy. He's a free agent I'd bring in for a look.
I also think that is an intriguing strategy. It’s certainly another avenue to “push our chips in” to move around the board.I still wouldn't be shocked if Gute uses NEXT year picks given the known compensation coming back to really move in this draft or pump another pick or so.

There's a bunch of really good wrs that seem to be can't miss ish
Devonta Smith
Jamarr Chase
Jaylen Waddle
Terrance Marshall Jr
Kadarius Toney
Rashod Bateman
These 6 are highly likely to go in the first round...with Rondell Moore the next up but I don't think a first round pick
If the Packers got any of those 6 I think they'd have big rookie seasons not justin jefferson big maybe but Packers rookie record breaking big for sure
Hard disagree on Toney.
He’s a very good athlete, but in 3 years at Florida never learned how to play WR. He’s raw raw.
Idk. At where he’s projected to go, he scares me. Who is the last gadget type player at his draft projection to do well, and develop as a WR?
Also, I think Elijah Moore is WR4.
I love Toney and have to agree. With the ball in his hands he is deadlier than arguably any of those listed....but those touches have to be manufactured because his route tree is more like a seedling and worse than MVS when he came to us.
Don't get me wrong MLF would make him shine at times for sure. Toney in the second I get, Toney in the 1st I've come off of quite hard.
Idk. Is a gadget player like that worth a 2nd? I’m skeptical.
In 3 years he couldn’t learn a simple college route tree. I think he has the physical abilities, and he can be a valuable player in a certain role, but you have to bank on him improving a lot to justify that pick. I’m glad I’m not a GM.
Is he....not sure. Is that the tops spot I'm doing him at yup. Given we are end of 2nd as well.
