Why would any undrafted rookie not come to GB?

[King Friday]

It depends on the position I guess...if I were an undrafted WR, I'm not sure I would consider Green Bay at this point. The position is already as deep as any team in the NFL.

However, if most other things are equal, then yes...it gives Green Bay a certain level of advantage.

As stated elsewhere, the Packers also will draw from the pool of guys they've seen in the facility in case of a crisis of injuries at a position. Rotherham for example, if he shows promise, might be the first guy they call up if they (god forbid) get a couple of linemen hurt. It seems at every opportunity, the Packers will choose the newb at least provisionally 'brought up' in their own system over a calcified veteran from other team(s).
