Cheese Curds: Green Bay Packers News and Links for April 16, 2015

14 more days. That's how long we have to wait before the 2015 NFL Draft kicks off. It's just two weeks away, as the first round will be taking place on Thursday, April 30.

As we look around the Packers-related media this morning, we find the tight end position coming into focus somewhat. With just three players on the roster at the position and the veteran starter still looking for a breakout season, it should not be a surprise to see Ted Thompson add one or two tight ends in or immediately after the draft. If you're hoping for one on day one, however, you're probably out of luck.

Speaking of the draft, the NFL published a list of the draftees-to-be who will be attending the draft in Chicago. One of them is Kenosha native and former Wisconsin Badger Melvin Gordon, who will have just a short 70-mile drive from his hometown to the Windy City.

We've got those stories and much more in today's curds below.
