Packers News: Mock draft, free agency predictions

A Green Bay Packers seven-round mock draft, free agency predictions and a closer look at Davante Adams’ contract all inside the Packers News Report.

While eight teams prepare for Wild Card Weekend, Green Bay is searching for a new general manager and defensive coordinator. The future GM will be busy right away preparing for free agency and the 2018 NFL Draft.

Thursday’s Packers News Report features our latest mock draft, how the Pack are saving cap room with the Davante Adams and Corey Linsley contracts, and more.
