Welcome to the start of a new week, Packers fans. As our colleagues over at Bucky's 5th Quarter prepare for a Final Four, we're left to talk about the NFL Draft and Aaron Rodgers' appearances in the Badgers' victorious locker room at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
Just kidding. We're actually going to talk about how the Packers' insurance policy on Rodgers will save them about $350,000 against the salary cap over each of the next few years. We'll also discuss a new mock draft with one name you have come to expect and a second-round projection that should spark some discussion.
Enjoy!
