Packers to hold video conference with tackle Josh Jones

Even after signing Rick Wagner in free agency, tackle remains a priority for the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers haven’t used a first-round pick on an offensive tackle since 2011 when they selected Derek Sherrod. That could potentially change this year.

A first-round candidate for Green Bay is Houston tackle Josh Jones. According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Packers will hold a video conference with Jones ahead of the draft.

NFL teams have been unable to meet with draft prospects due to the COVID-19 pandemic but are able to have conversations with players digitally.
