Ahead of tonight's first round, ranking the #Packers 20 first-round picks this century from worst to best, from Harrell to Rodgers and everyone in between: https://theathletic.com/1761749/2020/04/21/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-ranking-the-packers-last-20-first-round-picks/
#Packers GM Brian Gutekunst spoke this week. It's clear he won't be staying put with his picks this draft. It's just a matter of when and to where he moves: https://theathletic.com/1761695/2020/04/20/reading-between-the-lines-of-packers-gm-brian-gutekunsts-pre-draft-presser/

Maybe the #Packers will nail all 10 of their picks this weekend. If they had done so with each of their picks in the last decade, this is what their 2020 53-man fantasy roster would look like (That Hopkins, Thomas, Adams, Hill receiving corps is a problem) https://theathletic.com/1742754/2020/04/14/if-the-packers-had-drafted-perfectly-since-2010-this-would-be-the-2020-team/
Choosing the top five players the #Packers drafted by round since 2000 and ranking those groups of five from 1-7. Is Round 1 (Rodgers, Matthews, Bulaga, Hawk, Barnett) or Round 2 (Clifton, Collins, Nelson, Adams, Jennings) better? What about Round 4? https://theathletic.com/1734004/2020/04/09/examining-which-draft-rounds-the-packers-are-best-and-worst-in-since-2000/

Fifteen years ago today, a quarterback with questionable facial hair from Cal shockingly plummeted in the first round. This is the story of Aaron Rodgers' draft-night fall and what happened next, from @jasonjwilde: https://theathletic.com/1760221/2020/04/22/i-do-not-look-happy-an-oral-history-of-aaron-rodgers-draft-day-free-fall/
