The NFL awarded its compensatory draft selections a bit early this year, and we now know the Packers will have an additional 5th rounder, specifically the 39th pick of the 5th round, which is the 184th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Few enjoy a good compensatory pick like Ted Thompson, and this will be the Packers’ 38th compensatory pick since the NFL started doling them out in 1994, second only to the Ravens. The loss of Casey Hayward to the San Diego Chargers last season in free agency earned this pick for Green Bay.
