Cheese Curds, 4/12: Packers scout small-school prospects and may eye trade out of Round 1

15 days...there are just 15 days to go until the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The Green Bay Packers are scheduled to go on the clock with the 29th overall pick, which should come in late on the first night of the draft.

However, there is a growing feeling, at least among some who cover the Packers, that the team could trade back out of round one and into the second round. There are a variety of reasons why this is a common thought process, and in today's Cheese Curds we will find one such discussion of that possibility.

In the meantime, we do know that the Packers are scouting a number of smaller school prospects and players who are likely to be left as free agents after the draft concludes. A quick look through the team's reported draft visits (10 of the 30 of which have been reported so far) makes that clear. After all, only four of the ten reports so far come from college programs in the power five conferences, and two aren't even FBS programs. One of those two players gets a scouting report this week, as he looks to make an impact on an NFL roster this fall.
