GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If you would’ve told the Green Bay Packers a year ago that they would be able to get wide receiver Malachi Dupre in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL draft, they would’ve laughed you out of Lambeau Field.
By at least one measure -- ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay’s “Way-too-early 2017 mock draft” -- Dupre not only was projected as a first-round pick but a top-10 selection.
So how did the Packers end up with Dupre as the 247th player taken in last week’s draft?
