Packers' Offseason Moves: Veteran Additions Before Draft

0:00It's March 25th. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. The Green Bay Packers offseason is far from finished, even with free agency winding down, and the NFL drafts still ahead. General manager Brian Gudakunst often adds veteran free agents right before the draft to bolster key spots and create insurance options. Gudakunst has followed this strategy before. In 2024, he signed Offensive Tackle Andre Dillard just prior to the draft, then still selected Jordan Morgan in the first round. A year later in 2025, he brought in wide receiver McColl Hardman and followed up by drafting Matthew Golden. Fans and analysts see this as a smart hedge against draft uncertainties. It provides depth depositions like cornerback or defensive line, where the Packers need reliable backups in case rookies don't pan out right away. Right now, plenty of solid veterans remain available on the market. Gudakunst could target those areas to avoid any gaps heading into
