Good grief. Potentially, damn near all of them.
 
2025 will be the first year where the seniors can not take an extra COVID year, so you are gonna get the last Covid seniors plus the normal seniors.
 
I realize '25 mock drafts are even stupid to publish, but it gives an idea of where someone projects guys to get drafted. This one has Castro going 25th to the Ravens and Lachey going 30th to the 49ers.

Green Bay is a shitty little town the size of Sioux City. Yes, they draw full houses for their games, but a lot of the crowd drives in. They don't get a whole lot of visiting fans. The airport is not big and the casino is probably the best place to stay. Given the rollouts in Nashville and KC, I just don't see how the hell Green Bay is going to match that. Buffalo was a stretch, but they are at least used to major tourism with Niagara Falls. They also are 3 times the size.

Weather could also be iffy.
 
Two hours from Milwaukee. Door County right there. Suburbs around GB. Oshkosh, Appleton. One hour from Sheboygan and smaller communities along the lakeshore that are tourist friendly.

Now. I don’t know how many people we are talking about. I am just curious
about the logistics.

Not really buying the Sioux City/GB comparison.
 
People get really stuck on the size of Green Bay but it's really all of the surrounding community. Definitely not sufficient for a Super Bowl, and the draft will be a stretch, but that's part of the charm.

We would be staying with friends in Appleton if we went up. We would be bringing a group of seven or eight. With at least one mandatory stop at Jim's County Line near Rosendale.

Its not an exact comparison, but by this logic, SC is only 90 minutes away from Omaha, which is not that much smaller than Milwaukee. Its also less than an hour from Sioux Falls. I get that Green Bay has suburbs and might be a hare bigger than SC, but I don't think someone is going to want to attend the draft and stay two hours away in Milwaukee. Do they have the hotels, bars, and restaurants to handle that large of an out of town contingency?

That said, I don't think Green Bay will need the infrastructure of KC or Nashville to hold those crowds because I don't think nearly as many people want to visit a small town in North Wisconsin in April. That is why I think the decision is dumb by the NFL. But hey, the NFL prints money in its sleep, so I am sure this event will seem like a great success. They made Detroit work. But, just about any NFL city would be better than Green Bay.
