There’s nothing left to do but wait for the Packers’ pick to roll around.
Brian Gutekunst probably should have taken this week off.
That’s not my idea — the Packers general manager said that himself speaking with reporters on Monday, arguing there’s probably more mistakes made than beneficial work that gets done during the final week before the NFL Draft kicks off.
The work is done, and it’s been done for a long time. There’s nothing left for the Packers or any other NFL team to do, other than to wait (and wait and wait and wait) for their first pick to roll around on Thursday.
Fortunately for those attending this year’s NFL Draft (in Green Bay, if you haven’t heard, somehow), there’s plenty to do between now and the time the Packers pick Thursday evening. Unfortunately for the Packers’ decision makers, there’s little they can do other than wait, run over their draft board again, and hope they don’t make a mistake out of sheer boredom.
Given the amount of time they’ve spent waiting for this very moment, though, I’d forgive them for getting a little antsy.
