Eagles, Packers Strike Draft Trade That’s a Win-Win

The NFL Draft rumor mill is heating up, and the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers are stealing the spotlight. Sources tell ESPN the two NFC powerhouses have cooked up a blockbuster swap ahead of the April 24 kickoff, flipping picks in a deal that’s got both fanbases buzzing—and for good reason. It’s a rare trade where everybody wins.

Here’s the breakdown: Philly sends its No. 32 overall pick (Round 1), No. 64 (Round 2), and No. 134 (Round 4) to Green Bay. In return, the Eagles snag No. 23 (Round 1) and No. 159 (Round 5) from the Packers. For Howie Roseman, it’s a classic jump-up move—nine spots higher to grab a blue-chip talent, likely Georgia safety Malaki Starks, to plug the C.J. Gardner-Johnson-sized hole in the secondary. The Eagles keep their Super Bowl LIX edge sharp with a playmaker who’s got “future All-Pro” written all over him.

Green Bay’s Brian Gutekunst, meanwhile, plays the long game. Dropping to No. 32 nets him an extra second-rounder (No. 64) and upgrades a fifth to a fourth (No. 134)—pure gold for a GM who loves stacking depth. At 32, the Packers still score Kentucky CB Maxwell Hairston, a perfect fit for Jeff Hafley’s defense. More picks, more shots at young, cheap talent—Gutekunst keeps the Jordan Love era humming.

This isn’t just a trade; it’s a masterclass in strategy. Philly gets their guy without gutting the war chest (20 picks over ‘25-’26). Green Bay turns one premium pick into three quality swings, bolstering a contender. No egos bruised, no losers here—just two GMs flexing smarts. As draft night nears, Eagles and Packers fans can toast to a deal that’s got both squads grinning.
