The Green Bay Packers have, historically, been one of the NFL’s most frequent recipients of compensatory draft picks. Under general manager Ted Thompson in particular, the Packers were often loath to sign outside free agents, instead allowing many of their players to sign elsewhere. That strategy netted the team numerous compensatory picks over the years, a strategy which the team put to good use with many successes, particularly in the fourth round.
This year, under Brian Gutekunst’s leadership, the Packers will get two more compensatory picks for the 2022 NFL Draft as a result of the moves in last year’s free agency period.
