The Green Bay Packers lost their Wild Card matchup against the Chicago Bears on Saturday night and as a result their season has now officially come to an end.
What a shame! That is terrible!
In all seriousness, we have been closely monitoring the Packers this season as the Dallas Cowboys hold their first-round pick this year as a result of the Micah Parsons trade. A reminder that Dallas also owns Green Bay’s first-rounder in 2027, but the Cowboys sent the better of their first-round picks in 2027 (as in whichever pick is earlier) to the New York Jets in the Quinnen Williams deal. Lots of moving parts here.
Ultimately we are here now because the Packers lost and we now know where the Cowboys will pick.
The Packers’ pick that Dallas owns is officially number 20 overall
As noted there are a lot of moving parts this time of year and the overall NFL draft order is also impacted by everyone else playing this weekend. The Carolina Panthers lost earlier in the day on Saturday so that coupled with Green Bay’s loss is why the Cowboys are picking at number 20. It would have been number 19 if the Panthers had won, but obviously that did not happen.
The Cowboys’ own pick will be at number 12 overall so we now officially know where both of their first-round picks lie. Bring on all of the mocks.
