The Green Bay Packers selected defensive lineman James Looney out of California with the 232nd overall pick in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Looney likely won't project as a significant player right away, but could be a solid depth piece as a run-stopper in the future for the Packers' defense.
