Packers 7-round 2023 NFL mock draft with Aaron Rodgers, Trey Lance trade

Packers trade down to No. 24 and land possible star in Myles Murphy

With Green Bay sitting at the No. 15 pick, there is a chance that the value for what the team and roster need gets a little bit tricky. So if there is an opportunity to trade down with a team like the Jaguars that could be looking to move up for a cornerback, then the Packers should jump at it.

Here’s what a trade could look like with Green Bay adding two additional Top 50 picks while moving down to No. 24.

That’s a pretty fair deal overall as Green Bay gives up a third-rounder to get another second-rounder and a fourth-rounder this year and next.

And in moving down in this draft, the Packers have the opportunity to get the best value on a player like Clemson edge rusher Myles Murphy.

When you look at Murphy and his 6-foot-5, 254-pound frame, he’s exactly the body type that Green Bay tends to target with its edge rushers. The big key with Murphy, though, is that he’s a lot of untapped potential. The explosiveness and tools are evident, but the production just wasn’t at Clemson.

With the flexibility to let Murphy come in and learn a bit early on behind Preston Smith and Rashan Gary, the Clemson product has the potential to be a star on the edge for the Packers defense while also allowing them soon to let Smith walk and start a bit of a new era for the pass rush.
