The Packers traded their 1st round picks and thus had 3 2nd rounders on day 1 of the draft. They became Jordy Nelson WR, Jeff Brohm QB and Patrick Lee CB. Except for Brohm some low profile guys.
Given their recent draft record I am willing to buy in. I didn't know Greg Jennings or Brady Poppinga or Nick Collins and they turned out all right. All of the 1st three seem to have assets: Nelson was a walk on and is said to have superior character, Brohm was a super productive major college trigger man while Lee is said to be primo for bump and run coverage.
Thompson's draft philosophy seems to have 2 phases: get lots of selections so you can have maximum chance at success and go for production over 40 times or other hype related factors.
The Packers have 6 more selections today.
