Yes, that’s the case for every team, and yes, that’s often the case for the Packers, but it seems to especially be the case this year.
The Packers are still in the wake of their last big move: the Micah Parsons trade. They ponied up two firsts and a massive contract. That essentially took care of anything we could really classify as a big swing for the recent past and immediate future.
That leaves the Packers making more of what we could call roster tweaks than wholesale overhauls, banking on the growth of what they’ve already got than new influxes of talent. And, for the most part, that means leaning on their most high profile acquisitions: recent first round picks. Devonte Wyatt.
