Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has made at least one trade on the opening night of the draft each of the past three years.

It’s a recent tradition that could continue next week. Gutekunst made one of the most surprising moves of last year’s draft by trading away a fourth-round pick to move up four spots in the first round and select Utah State quarterback Jordan Love as a potential successor to 2020 MVP Aaron Rodgers.

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah believes the Packers might try to trade out of the first round this time.
