2020 NFL Draft: Green Bay Packers team preview before the draft
The Green Bay Packers are only missing a few pieces to make it back another run for the Super Bowl. Here is a 2020 NFL Draft primer for the cheeseheads
The Green Bay Packers made it all the way to the NFC Championship game but lost in a heartbreaker against the San Francisco 49ers. With a solid 2020 NFL Draft, the Packers can get back to the promised land this upcoming season.
The Packers decided to fire veteran Mike McCarthy in the middle of the season in 2018, the Packers did not want to bring in a veteran head coach. The Packers wanted to go younger just like Rams with Sean McVay. The Packers decided to bring in Matt LaFleur as the new head coach of the Green Bay Packers but also he would be the new play-caller for the future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The Green Bay Packers lost one of their star pieces this offseason due to free agency, linebacker Blake Martinez. The New York Giants decided to give Martinez a three-year deal, which he accepted. But before that happened, the Packers offered former Browns linebacker, Christian Kirksey, a two-year deal. The Packers also lost right tackle Bryan Bulaga due to free agency, but they signed former Detroit Lions right tackle Rick Wagner to a two-year deal. The Packers filled all the positions that they lost in free agency, which was quite difficult with the amount of money that they have.
