Favorite Pick: Kevin King GB Definitely needed an upgrade at CB.

Most Impactful Pick in 2017: Josh Jones He will get in to the game a lot of different ways.

Sleeper: Malachi Dupre In a couple of years he might be a solid option.

Grade: C+ It is difficult to get real excited about the bottom half of the draft. A lot of long odds to make a significant impact. Adams, Biegel and Williams will be situational, rotation guys not players who will dominate.

The only 2 players that will be major contributors to the team on a consistent basis will be King and JJones.

My curiosity ask's the question, How many of GB's 2017 Draft picks were among those that visited the Team prior to the Draft ? and who are they ?

Thanks Coltonja

GB picked 3 players in the 2017 NFL Draft that visited the team prior to the draft.

DeAngelo Yancey / WR / Purdue
Kofi Amichia / OL / South Florida
Devante Mays / RB / Utah State

Invite twice as many to visit prior to the 2018 NFL Draft . [twocents]

Any team is allowed a total of 30 visits.
The Packers maxed out their invites.

As the column says these invites are usually used on guys who are on the fringe of getting drafted.
Ted and Co. Want to get to know these players a little better.
Mixon was invited, obvious reason there.
Other than him most are late round or udfa's.

Plenty of information on the top 150-200.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Thank you for that information Buck , I did not obviously know that before . Seems like a small number to me . I may just procure the invite list and compare it with the entire 2017 Draft. might prove to be most interesting . 😁

I'm excited to see all the guys. I love the time where we have training camp, family night, and pre-season. I love talent evaluation and the competition. It's a joy to behold for me every year.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : The method for measuring first downs in the NFL will switch from chain gangs to camera-based technology in 2025, the league announced.

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : A big step in the right direction. Just put in the college system is very very good.

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : Touchbacks on kickoffs will now bring the ball to the 35-yard line.

beast (31-Mar) : It might of gotten more popular recently, but braiding hair (even men) in certain cultures goes back for centuries.

Martha Careful (30-Mar) : Is men braiding their hair a new style thing? Watching the NCAA men's tournament many players have done

Zero2Cool (29-Mar) : Ha. Well, it'd be nice for folks to reset their own password. Via validated email 😏

beast (29-Mar) : Lol, I was thinking username would be better, as then I wouldn't have to keep an email up to date lol 😂

beast (29-Mar) : Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : I was thinking email because I think it'll make folks keep it up todate lol

wpr (29-Mar) : sure is

Zero2Cool (29-Mar) : Monopoly is a rip off of The Landlord's Game

wpr (27-Mar) : 28 days until the draft

earthquake (27-Mar) : Which seemed strange to my 9 year old self, that you could be a fan for a team other than the one you play for

earthquake (27-Mar) : Nothing eventful happened, other than it being clear that he was a bengals fan

earthquake (27-Mar) : And we went and hung out with him one afternoon, I must have been 9 or so
