The NFL Draft is fun because it allows you to entertain interesting hypotheticals. For example, what if the Green Bay Packers traded up in the NFL Draft with the Kansas City Chiefs to add one of the top cornerback prospects? Now there hasn't been any real mention of this to my knowledge but Grantland's Bill Barnwell concocted an intriguing trade scenario around it. He had the Chiefs send the No. 18 overall pick to the Packers in exchange for the No. 30 and No. 62 overall picks this year.

"Ah, a swap between old friends Ted Thompson and John Dorsey, who make a trade that stands as a near-perfect match on the Jimmy Johnson trade chart we're using to judge pick value," Barnwell wrote. "The Chiefs are still a top-heavy roster, and with major depth concerns on both sides of the football, they can wait on adding a wide receiver in this extremely deep class until the end of the first round. Having been without their 2013 and 2014 second-round picks because of the Alex Smith trade, Dorsey would surely appreciate having a pair of second-rounders in this year's draft.

"As for Thompson, his Packers hardly need much of anything these days. Blessed with one of the deepest roster in football, Thompson has only a couple of holes to address in this year's draft. One is at cornerback, where the Packers will start Sam Shields on one edge and Casey Hayward in the slot, but have no obvious replacement for Tramon Williams after he and Davon house left in free agency. Here, Thompson moves up to grab somebody like Marcus Peters, running ahead of cornerback-hungry teams like Philadelphia (no. 20), Pittsburgh (no. 22) and Detroit (no. 23) in the process."

Remember, this is just a hypothetical scenario. But you have to admit that it makes a certain amount of sense. Green Bay can't be sure that guys like Peters, Byron Jones or Kevin Johnson will still be available when they are on the clock at No. 30. Trading up may be the only way to guarantee that they get a cornerback who is capable of starting for them on Day 1.

But Thompson and the Packers have a great track record in the draft so whatever they decide will likely turn out for the best.
