Imminent Aaron Rodgers Trade OBJ Signing And Other Offseason Moves That Will Impact The Draft

 

The NFL Draft is the biggest part of the talent acquisition portion of the offseason, and it becomes increasingly vital each year as massive quarterback contracts lead to teams looking for cheaper production in the draft. It is not the first stage of the talent acquisition period, however. Trades and free agent signings in March have a sizable impact on how teams approach the NFL Draft.

Here are some of the biggest moves that will shape action later this month:

The anticipated Aaron Rodgers trade

Green Bay and New York have not reached an agreement on a trade at this time, but it is headed in that direction. The Packers are ready to move on, and not getting any draft compensation in return for Rodgers would be negligence. The Jets have been making moves -- like the signing of wide receiver Allen Lazard and trade of Elijah Moore -- as if Rodgers were on the roster, so there is no reason to think their draft strategy would be any different. 

Carolina trading up to No. 1 overall

The draft impact is pretty obvious considering a new team moved into the pick and ensured that a quarterback would be taken No. 1 overall. However, there were other ramifications as part of the move. Chicago acquired veteran wide receiver DJ Moore as part of the deal, which allowed the franchise to address one of its biggest needs before reaching draft night. The Bears now have additional draft resources to address other needs, such as offensive line, edge rusher and defensive tackle.
