General Manager Ted Thompson is more than content to just sit where he is at and take the best player available at that time. It's a strategy that he has been criticized for, but it is safe to say that the Packers have been pretty successful with Thompson at the helm. Imagine, then, my disbelief as I checked my phone and saw that the Packers ... Green Bay Packers get all A's in NFL draft If you don't have one of the top 10 picks in the NFL draft, It's hard to draft for need AND get the best player available.

Yet the Green Bay Packers found a way to fill their biggest holes with players who should contribute immediately. Green Bay Packers trade up twice for Jerel Worthy, Casey Hayward GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers didn't pay much mind to their defense in the NFL draft a year ago, and those decisions may have contributed to their defensive struggles last season. Green Bay Packers: Analysis, Grades and Mock Draft Rounds 4-7 Well, three rounds are in the books, and the draft has been crazy to say the least. If you guessed Bruce Irvin would go 15th overall to Seattle, get yourself to Las Vegas now. The Packers entered this draft with the focus on defense, and they addressed the positions they needed. The board may have fallen a little bit different than every single mock drafter had predicted, but in my opinion, the ... Green Bay Packers 2012 Draft: Help for the Defense Doesn't Rest Going into the 2012 NFL Draft , the Green Bay Packers and Ted Thompson were focused on improving their 32nd-ranked defense.

Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson Should Be Applauded for Aggressiveness in the 2012 NFL Draft: Fan's Take The Green Bay Packers had 11 draft picks after they selected University of Southern California (USC) defensive end Nick Perry with the 28th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft on April 26.

Green Bay Packers 2012 Draft: Grading the Selection of Mike Daniels The first two days of the draft were rather surprising for the Green Bay Packers . It's not Ted Thompson's M.O. to trade up in drafts, yet he's already done it twice with the selections of Michigan State DT Jerel Worthy and CB Casey Hayward. However, the Packers couldn't trade either of their compensatory selections and were stuck with the 132nd pick in the fourth round, their first compensatory ... Green Bay Packers Mock Draft: Predicting the Packers' Day 3 Selections Day 2 of the 2012 NFL draft has passed and, as always, things are exciting. The Green Bay Packers surprisingly moved up once to grab Michigan State DL Jerel Worthy and then even more surprisingly moved up yet again to grab Vanderbilt CB Casey Hayward. These two moves cost the Packers a combined second, third, fourth and fifth-round draft picks. Still, Day 3 of the draft lies ahead, and the ... Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson Gets Bold with Jerel Worthy, Casey Hayward For Green Bay Packers fans, the second round of the 2012 NFL draft became a bit like a twilight zone. The first round of the draft was normal. General manager Ted Thompson stayed put like he always does and took the best player available, which happened to be USC defensive end Nick Perry with the 28th overall pick.
