Packers GM Ted Thompson on the 2017 NFL Draft: “What are we picking? 29?”

For the first time since the NFL Scouting Combine in early March, Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson spoke to the media on Wednesday to address the state of the team’s roster.

The start of free agency came during the interim, and the Packers now have a few new faces on the team. Among them are tight ends Martellus Bennett and Lance Kendricks, cornerback Davon House, and defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois. In addition, the Packers re-signed a handful of players, led by edge rusher Nick Perry, while they saw several key players depart for more lucrative contract offers elsewhere.
