2019 NFL Draft Packers pull off trade with Seahawks to move up nine spots in first round

general manager John Schneider made it pretty clear this week that his team was open to moving back during the first round of the NFL Draft and that's exactly what Seattle did when they were put on the clock Thursday.The Seahawks sent the 21st overall pick to Green Bay in exchange for a package that included three Mike Scott Jersey draft picks.
