The Packers hold the 232nd overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft as their final pick of the weekend. With that 25th choice in the seventh round, Green Bay has chosen:
Sam Barrington, linebacker, South Florida
Barrington played outside linebacker at South Florida, but like Terrell Manning last year he seems an ideal candidate to move inside for the Packers, standing 6'1" and weighing in at 246 pounds. Barrington ran a relatively slow 4.83 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine, but put up a better time of 4.69 at USF's Pro Day. He was a second-team All-Big East player in 2012, and had a total of 6.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and an interception in his four collegiate seasons.
Here is the full Packers' Draft board.
