Packers could turn to NFL Supplemental Draft for defensive help

On July 11 at 1 p.m. ET, the 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft will commence, but unlike the past few seasons, this year could see a few players chosen. With new general manager Brian Gutekunst in charge of the Green Bay Packers, could we see the team make headlines and take a player?

The Green Bay Packers haven’t used the Supplemental Draft to add a player to their roster since 1998 when they used a second round draft choice to acquire guard Mike Wahle out of Navy.

Wahle turned out to be a valuable starting guard for the Packers, playing eight seasons with the team before leaving for the Carolina Panthers, where he would go on to have a Pro Bowl season in 2005.
