In this episode of the Pack-A-Day Podcast, host Andy Herman dives into potential draft-day trades for the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. With the Packers holding picks 52, 84, 120, 153, 160, 201, 236, and 255, Herman analyzes both historical trades and the Rich Hill trade value chart to project what moves Brian Gutekinds might make. He explores scenarios for moving up—such as trading second, third, and fourth-round picks to reach the top of the second round—or moving down to accumulate future draft capital, especially in the stronger 2027 draft. Herman highlights that this year’s draft is expected to be a buyer’s market, with teams more willing to trade down than up, giving the Packers more leverage. He also discusses the value of their additional fifth-round pick from the Dontavian Wicks trade and how it could be used strategically. The episode concludes with a reflective look at the Packers’ successful 2025 draft in Green Bay and anticipation for the upcoming event in Pittsburgh.
The Packers have increased draft flexibility with their additional fifth-round pick from the Dontavian Wicks trade.
Historical trades suggest Green Bay could move up to pick 35–42 by trading second, third, and fourth-round picks.
Moving down is more likely, with opportunities to gain future picks—especially in the stronger 2027 draft.
The 2026 draft is expected to be a buyer’s market, making it easier for Green Bay to trade up for a player they really want.
Trading down for future picks (especially third and fourth rounders in 2027) is a smart long-term strategy.

Historical Trade Analysis: Pick 52
“In 2013, the Vikings traded pick 52, 83, 102, and 229 to move up to pick 29. Would you do it? I probably wouldn’t in this draft.”
Trade Value Chart: Rich Hill Model
“If you trade your second, third, and fourth-round picks, you could get pick 32—the very last pick in the first round.”
Pick 84 & Pick 120 Trade Scenarios
“Trading pick 84 for pick 95 and a 2026 fourth-round pick? Absolutely. I’d sign up for that.”
