Packers Trade Up....

Green Bay has made another pick...as they trade up to #102 and select defensive end Jeremy Thompson out of Wake Forest. Green Bay gave the Jets their 113th pick in the 4th round and their 5th round pick, which was at #162 to slide up and get Thompson. He's 6'4, and 264 pounds. Some scouts have him tabbed as a linebacker. We'll have to wait and see what the Packers have in store for him.

He is the brother of Packers offensive tackle Orrin Thompson.
