uGreen Bay enters the draft with a pick in every round, including two selections in the fourth, sixth and sev-enth rounds and three selections in the fifth round.
uIt is the most picks the Packers have entered the draft with since 2012 when Green Bay entered the draft with 12 picks and ended up making eight selections.

A look at where Green Bay currently stands in the draft order:
GUTEKUNST LEADS PACKERS IN FIRST DRAFT AS GMGM Brian Gutekunst enters his 20th draft with the Packers, but his first as the general manager. uGutekunst spent his first 13 seasons with Green Bay as a college scout,
serving as an East Coast regional scout for two years (1999-2000) before switching to the Southeast region (2001-11).
uDuring his first 13 drafts with the Packers, Gutekunst was part of a personnel department that drafted Pro Bowlers, including WR Donald Driver (seventh round, 1999), who is the team’s all-time leading receiver, T Chad Clifton (second round, 2000), DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (fifth round, 2000), who is second in franchise history (since 1982) in sacks, WR Javon Walker (first round, 2002), DE Aaron Kampman (fifth round, 2002), C Scott Wells (seventh round, 2004), QB Aaron Rodgers (first round, 2005), S Nick Collins (second round, 2005), LB A.J. Hawk (first round, 2006), who is
the leading tackler in franchise history, WR Greg Jennings (second round, 2006), WR Jordy Nelson (second round, 2008), G Josh Sitton (fourth round, 2008), DT B.J. Raji (first round, 2009), LB Clay Matthews (first round, 2009), who is the franchise leader in sacks, WR Randall Cobb (second round, 2011) who was also selected to the All-Rookie Team by Pro Football Weekly/PFWA.
uGutekunst was promoted to director of college scouting in 2012, a posi-tion he served in through 2015. Over that time period, Green Bay select-ed Pro Bowlers DT Mike Daniels (fourth round, 2012) who ranks No. 2 among Packers defensive tackles in sacks (since 1982), T David Bakhtiari (fourth round, 2013), who became the first Green Bay rookie to start every game at LT since the league went to a 16-game slate in 1978 and has been selected All-Pro second-team by The Associated Press in 2016 and 2017, RB Eddie Lacy (second round, 2012), who was named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year by AP, S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (first round, 2014), who was named to PFWA’s All-Rookie team, and WR Davante Adams (second round, 2014). During that time, the Packers also drafted LB Nick Perry (first round, 2012), who ranks No. 3 in franchise postseason history with seven sacks and CB Casey Hayward (second round, 2012), who led all NFL rookies with six INTs in 2012 and became the first Packers CB to be named to the All-Rookie Team by Pro Football Weekly/PFWA since the team was first selected in 1974.
uIn 2016-17, Gutekunst served as director of player personnel and the last two drafts have been highlighted by the addition of DT Kenny Clark (first round, 2016), who finished No. 4 on the team with 78 tackles (39 solo) last season and set a record for sacks in December (since 1982) by a Packers DT with 4.5, LB Blake Martinez (fourth round, 2016), who ranked No. 1 on the team with 158 total tackles (107 solo) last season, and RBs Jamaal Williams (fourth round, 2017) and Aaron Jones (fifth round, 2017), who became the first Packers rookie duo to both register 400-plus rushing yards in a season.

A LOOK INTO THE DRAFT ROOMGeneral Manager Brian Gutekunst heads up the football operations, and he and Green Bay’s coaches are known to Packers fans. But working with Gutekunst is a talented and experienced player personnel staff. uMembers of the personnel staff have spent months, if not years with
some prospects, studying for the 2018 NFL Draft. They visit schools throughout the season, attending practices, dozens of games and pro days in the spring. In each area, they have formed relationships with high school and college coaches, trying to get a better idea of who the person is, not just the football prospect.
uWorking closely with Gutekunst year-round is Director of College Scouting Jon-Eric Sullivan (15th NFL season), Director of Pro Personnel John Wojciechowski (23rd NFL season), West Regional Scout Sam Seale (23rd NFL season) and Senior Advisor to Football Operations Ted Thompson (27th NFL season).
uMembers of the scouting department include college scouts Alonzo Dotson (sixth NFL season), Joe Hueber (fourth NFL season), Matt Malispina (21st NFL season), Mike Owen (seventh NFL season), Charlie Peprah (third NFL season), and Charles Walls (sixth NFL season), pro scouts Chad Brinker (ninth NFL season), Richmond Williams (11th NFL season) and Luke Benuska (third NFL season), scouting assistant Brandian Ross (second NFL season), and college scouting coordinator Danny Mock (31st NFL season).

WHO HAS BEEN THERE AT NO. 14?With its 7-9 record, Green Bay will have the No. 14 selection in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.uSo when was the last time the Packers chose at No. 14? It was 2000,
when Green Bay selected TE Bubba Franks.uHere is a look at the players selected at No. 14 in the first round over the
past 10 drafts (2008-17):
uWhile first-round choices certainly can be the cornerstone of a fran-chise, as the Packers have shown with Pro Bowl selections QB Aaron Rodgers (2005), LB A.J. Hawk (2006), LB Clay Matthews (2009), DT B.J. Raji (2009) and S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (2014), and starters T Bryan Bulaga (2010) and LB Nick Perry (2012), second-round selections can prove to be just as valuable. WRs Jordy Nelson (2008) and Randall Cobb (2011) were both picked in the second and became the first duo in NFL history to both have 90-plus receptions, 1,200-plus yards and 12-plus touchdown receptions in the same regular season (2014). Other second-round picks included WR Davante Adams, who was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2017, CB Casey Hayward (2012), who became the first CB in franchise history (since 1967) to be named to the All-Rookie Team by Pro Football Weekly/PFWA, and RB Eddie Lacy (2013), who was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year by The Associated Press and earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2014.
uWith 22 starters and a 53-man roster, selections in the third round often turn into significant contributors for a team. Examples are WR James Jones (2007), TE Jermichael Finley (2008), and S Morgan Burnett (2010).
uThe fourth and fifth rounds have also been a spot the Packers have found starters. Of the Packers’ main starters on the 2014-16 offensive lines, five were drafted in the fourth or fifth round: G Josh Sitton (2008/fourth round), G T.J. Lang (2009/fourth round), T David Bakhtiari (2013/fourth round), C/G JC Tretter (2013/fourth round) and C Corey Linsley (2014/fifth round). A mainstay on the Packers’ defensive line over the last few seasons, Pro Bowl DT Mike Daniels (2012) was also drafted in the fifth round. Green Bay has also found key contributors on both sides of the ball in the fourth and fifth rounds: DB Micah Hyde (2013/fifth), LBs Jake Ryan (2015/fourth) and Blake Martinez (2016/fourth), DE Dean Lowry (2016/fourth), RBs Jamaal Williams (2017/fourth) and Aaron Jones (2017/fifth).
uGreen Bay has received contributions from several late-round picks over the years, including DT Johnny Jolly (2006/sixth round), LB Desmond Bishop (2007/sixth round), K Mason Crosby (2007/sixth), QB Matt Flynn (2008/seventh), LB Brad Jones (2009/seventh), RB James Starks (2010/sixth), DE C.J. Wilson (2010/seventh), LB Sam Barrington (2013/seventh) and WR Jeff Janis (2014/seventh).

2018 DRAFT PREVIEW
2018 DRAFT ORDER - FIRST ROUND
MOST SELECTIONS IN 2018 NFL DRAFT
2018 SCHEDULE RELEASEDThe Green Bay Packers’ 2018 NFL regular-season schedule – highlighted by five prime-time contests (subject to flexible scheduling) – was released April 19 by the National Football League.uFor the second consecutive season, the Packers open the season at
home and will play three of their first four games at Lambeau Field.uIn Week 1, Green Bay will host Chicago on Sunday night, marking
the 13th consecutive regular season that the Packers and Bears have squared off in primetime. For the first time since 2012, the Packers play two home games to open the season, hosting Minnesota in Week 2. It marks just the third time (2003, 2008) since the NFC North was formed in 2002 that Green Bay has played division opponents in both of the first two games.
uThe Packers’ first road contest is at the Redskins, marking Green Bay’s first September visit to Washington.
uThe Packers return home for two of three games before the bye, first taking on the Buffalo Bills in Week 4 and then traveling to Detroit to play the Lions.
uIn Week 6, Green Bay hosts the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football, marking the fourth time the two teams have met on MNF and the first since 1999. It is the fifth time in the last six seasons the Packers have played at Lambeau Field on MNF.
uAfter the second Week 7 bye for Green Bay in the last four seasons (2015), the Packers will play four of five games on the road.
uGreen Bay makes its first trip to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum since 1978 to play the Rams.
uIn Week 9, the Packers travel to the other side of the country to play the Patriots on Sunday night.
uGreen Bay returns home to take on the Miami Dolphins before a quick turnaround to play the Seahawks, marking the Packers’ second Thursday night game at Seattle (Week 1 in 2014). Including the postseason, it will be the seventh time Green Bay and Seattle have played since 2012.
uNovember finishes with a trip to play the Vikings on Sunday night, mark-ing the sixth straight season that the teams have met in a prime-time game.
uGreen Bay opens the final month of the regular season against Arizona, only the second time the Cardinals have played at Lambeau Field in December (Dec. 21, 1969).
uThe Packers will play back-to-back home games for only the second time in 2018 when they host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. It will be the fourth matchup (including postseason) between Green Bay and Atlanta in the last three seasons.
uThe Packers end the season with two road games in the final three weeks for the seventh straight year.
uIn Week 15, Green Bay will face the Bears in Chicago, a place it has won in the regular season each of the last seven years.
uThe Packers’ road slate will finish up with a game at the New York Jets, the third December game at the Jets in team history (1981, 2002). Three of the last four games at New York have been decided by single digits, including one game that went to overtime.
uGreen Bay will close out the regular season against the Lions for the third straight year and the fourth time in the last five seasons. Green Bay has an 18-6 overall mark (.750) and a 10-2 home record (.833) against Detroit under Head Coach Mike McCarthy.
