It’s official — the Green Bay Packers have now added to their haul of selections for Brian Gutekunst’s first NFL Draft as general manager.
The NFL announced the compensatory picks for the 2018 NFL Draft, awarded for free agent transactions during the 2017 offseason. The Packers added four picks, the maximum possible, giving them a likely total of 12. That comes from the team’s original seven picks, the four comp picks, and one additional seventh-round choice sent over from the Buffalo Bills in a 2016 trade for linebacker Lerentee McCray. While the league has not yet confirmed that the conditions of that trade were met, McCray spent the entire 2016 season on the Bills’ roster, making it likely that the pick indeed will change hands.
