All of the Packers’ draft picks are now under contract And then there were none.
The Green Bay Packers signed their final 2017 draft pick today as third round selection defensive tackle Montravius Adams agreed to terms with the team. 
Adams was the final third round selection to sign with their team and it leaves eight unsigned draft picks around the league. Seven of those eight are first round selections.
By signing before training camp, Adams won't incur any kind of financial penalties and the Packers can finally rest knowing all their draft picks are under contract.
It's not clear what caused the holdup with Adams' contract thanks to the league's rookie wage scale but a deal is done and Adams can officially join the team.

Kind of ticks me off that it took this long. Was it some kind of greed thing? Or a player thinking he's "all that" even before he plays a down?
Of course we don't know.
Hopefully he will produce on the field.

Before the latest CBA agreement people would always complain how freaking long it would take the Packers to sign their draft picks, and that's because the Packers always seemed to wait until the players before and after their pick were signed and then some how average it out via draft spot or position. This strategy has seemed to continue into the current CBA, just fans normally aren't complaining anymore, because it all (normally) happens in reasonable time frame.

The Packers selected DL Montravius Adams with the 93rd overall selection. The closest other DL selection was 88th when the Oakland Raiders selected Eddie Vanderdoes. But follow this.

The 11th last player to sign was #92 CB Jourdan Lewis (one spot above Adams)
The 10th last player to sign was #88 DL Eddie Vanderdoes (closest DL selection to Adams)
And less than 18 hours after Lewis and less than an hour after Vanderdoes...
The 9th last player to sign was #93 DL Montravius Adams

So I believe the Packers AND Adams had an averages deal in place, but they were just waiting for others numbers to come in so they could do the averages.

It's not like the kid is skipping a playoff game and is the key to the defensive chances to propelling the Packers to the Super Bowl lol ... he's a third round rookie and training camp hasn't even begun yet. Simmah down!! 😁

He gave a theory as to why and a review of the rookie contracts signed over the last few years supports this. But its pretty complicated and wouldn't fit on a bumper sticker.

BTW: He said he's never heard of an "averages deal."
