All of the latest Green Bay Packers news and analysis from around the internet, right here in the Packers News Report.

The Green Bay Packers will have options when they hit the clock with the 14th pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The question is which direction will general manager Brian Gutekunst choose to go in? Will he continue the trend of selecting a defensive player first? The last time Green Bay used its first selection on offense was tackle Derek Sherrod in 2011.

Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson (second round) and Bryan Bulaga are the only other times Ted Thompson used the team’s top pick on offense.

On the note of the draft, we’ll start Monday’s Packers News Report with Lombardi Ave’s latest mock draft roundup.
