Amid Rodgers drama, Packers boost depth at positions of need

Associated Press  

The Green Bay Packers believe they found ideal candidates to fill their biggest positional needs and upgraded a star-studded roster as they attempt to make a Super Bowl run. In a column posted Saturday on the team’s website, Packers CEO Mark Murphy called the Rodgers situation “an issue that we have been working on for several months.” Murphy acknowledged that he, LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst all have visited Rodgers during the offseason. Again, we’re very optimistic that we can get through this for what’s best for the Green Bay Packers, which is Aaron suiting up for us this fall.” While Rodgers was attending the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, the Packers were finishing up their draft by taking Mississippi offensive lineman Royce Newman in the fourth round, Florida defensive tackle T.J. Slaton and Appalachian State cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles in the fifth, Wisconsin offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen and Boston College linebacker Isaiah McDuffie in the sixth and Mississippi State running back Kylin Hill in the seventh. They said, ‘How would you like to be a Packer?’ And I was just absolutely stoked.” SOLVING DEPTH CONCERNS Green Bay’s draft emphasis on the offensive line and cornerback came as no surprise. We paid a little bit of a price, but I thought it was important because of the value of the player I wanted.” BLUE-COLLAR CORNERBACK Jean-Charles, the only Packers draft pick who didn’t come from a Power Five school, had 17 passes defended last season to lead all Football Bowl Subdivision players.
