Tony Pauline reported that the Green Bay Packers will likely draft either Josh Jackson or Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report for Thursday, April 19.

Today the Green Bay Packers’ regular season schedule will be announced. Be sure to stay tuned to Lombardi Ave for all the latest on the schedule. The NFL’s announcement is set for 7 p.m. CT.

Meanwhile, draft analyst Tony Pauline dropped some pretty big news regarding the 2018 NFL Draft.

According to Pauline, cornerback Denzel Ward is a player the Packers “truly covet”, but it’s unlikely he makes it to No. 14 overall. If he doesn’t, Pauline noted that it’s likely Green Bay will select either Josh Jackson or Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Be sure to check out Pauline’s full article. He always has a ton of great inside information ahead of the draft.
