Packers: An early look at the 2018 NFL Draft class
By Dan Dahlke
The Green Bay Packers bye week has come and gone, and now the team sits at 4-3 and second in the NFC North behind the Minnesota Vikings.
Without Aaron Rodgers in the lineup for the foreseeable future, the team is trusting third-year man Brett Hundley to string together enough wins under center to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The season is long from being over for the Packers, and while it’s good to remain hopeful for a playoff run, it is also never a bad idea to get a sense for how the 2018 draft class could shape up.
November is the premier time for college football matchups and the perfect time to take notice of the top prospects entering the NFL next year.
