GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers now have all of their picks from the 2012 NFL draft under contract. The team announced yesterday it has signed first-round pick linebacker Nick Perry of USC.

He was the 28th overall selection in the draft last month. Perry will likely play outside linebacker in Green Bay’s 3-4 defense alignment. He is expected to improve the Packers’ pass rush, which was lacking last season. Also announced yesterday was the signing of second-round defensive end Jerel Worthy, second-round cornerback Casey Hayward, fourth-run defensive tackle Mike Daniels, fourth-round defensive safety Jerron McMillian, fifth-round linebacker Terrell Manning, seventh-round tackle Andrew Datko and seventh-round quarterback B.J. Cameron.
