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.

They are all signed. This version of the CBA sure makes it a lot easier.

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.

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."

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
