Packers move up, take DE Thompson

The Packers traded up 11 spots and gave up their fifth-round pick to select Wake Forest end Jeremy Thompson 102nd overall.

They gave up the No. 113 pick -- acquired from the Jets in a deal Saturday -- back to the Jets and also gave up their fifth-round pick, No. 162.

Thompson, 6-foot-5 and 264 pounds, is the brother of Packers tackle Orrin Thompson.

In 46 career games (32 starts), Thompson had 112 tackles, including 73 solo, 20.5 for loss and 8.5 sacks. His biggest season came as a senior, when he started all 13 games and recorded 46 tackles, including 35 solo, 11 for loss and 6.5 sacks. He played mostly right end.
