The Packers add another defensive back in the second round
As the first choice of the fifth round, Madison was the first player from either WSU or Idaho to be chosen in this year’s draft, which began Thursday. “It just didn’t happen that way and we just didn’t think it was the best thing just to go ahead and reach for a position if we didn’t think the player was of that value”. He was named AFCA All-American Second Team and All-Super Region 3 first team. “He’s the No. 1 corner on my board”. All of those guys could make a case for a roster spot. He’s a very good punt returner. “The speed never really anxious us because he’s just so smart and he’s always in the right position to play the ball”.

Green Bay also took a long snapper with the second of their three seventh-round picks in Mississippi State’s Hunter Bradley. “But when the question marks are in the later rounds and you hit big on the early picks, the grade stays high”. Longtime executive Brian Gutekunst was promoted to general manager to succeed the retired Ted Thompson in January.
The second day of the NFL Draft takes place on Friday.
Along with Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson, the Packers then moved up into the third round to select linebacker Oren Burks.
Finally, it should be noted that the Packers also drafted Josh Jackson in the second round of the National Football League draft. Despite spending much of his career at USC at defensive tackle, it is not clear whether Green’s best fit is as an interior defensive lineman or as an edge rusher.
