![]() It's probably not the only thing - the Packers still need to settle on a kicker - but figuring out a backup plan is arguably the most important thing on that list. ![]() One more thing on Packers' to-do list: Find Jordan Love's backup - ESPN The plan remains unclear, but if the team doesn’t sign a quarterback before draft day, don’t be shocked if they take more than one this year. Just how veteran could a potential Packers target be, however? Would they go so far as to consider bringing in someone like Matt Ryan or Joe Flacco?

The team took two bites at the apple with second-rounder Brian Brohm and seventh-rounder Matt Flynn, and although it was the late pick who turned into the viable backup, they were able to find him with that selection. And if they don’t have a veteran on the roster before the draft, perhaps a double-dip on rookies might be the way to go.Īfter all, it worked out well for the Packers in the 2008 NFL Draft, when the team had prepared for the switch from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers. Furthermore, general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted recently that he would like to have another veteran player with NFL experience in that room.īut options are starting to run low, and there’s plenty of reason to draft a QB, perhaps on day three, to help add to the options behind Love. With just Jordan Love and Danny Etling on the roster, the team will need one or two more just to get through OTAs and minicamp. ![]() Odds are good that the Green Bay Packers will select a quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft.
