Around the NFC North has generally become a part of my regular in-season column "Hello Wisconsin," but with the NFL draft having just occurred, there's a whole lot to talk about regarding how the Packers' "competition" in the division made out with their picks.
So without further ado, here's a quick look at the drafts that the Bears, Lions and Vikings all had this past weekend.
Chicago Bears
- Round 2, Pick 39: Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington
- Round 2, Pick 48: Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State
- Round 3, Pick 71, Velus Jones, WR, Tennessee
- Round 5, Pick 168, Braxton Jones, OT, Southern Utah
- Round 5, Pick 174, Dominique Robinson, EDGE, Miami (OH)
- Round 6, Pick 186, Zachary Thomas, OL, San DIego State
- Round 6, Pick 203: Trestan Ebner, RB, Baylor
- Round 6, Pick 207: Doug Kramer, iOL, Illinois
- Round 7, Pick 226: Ja'Tyre Carter, OL, Southern
- Round 7, Pick 254: Elijah Hicks, S, California
- Round 7, Pick 255: Trenton Gill, P, North Carolina State
The Bears were without a first round pick in the draft, and the Packers had already taken three players by the time Chicago was on the clock.
