Packers Draft Choices
 
Updated 04/04/2013

The greatest needs are:
1. Running Back - a bonafide star.
2. Wide Receiver - needed if Driver & Jennings are gone.
3. Center & general Offensive Line depth.
4. Safety - someone who can eventually take over for Woodson
5. Quarterback - is either Harrell or Coleman able to handle a game or two?

But Ted Thompson historically doesn't draft for need - he really does draft the "Best Available Player".
(see Jordy Nelson - that turned out OK, eh?)

The Packers received 1 Compensatory Selection, a 5th rd pick, #167.

Rd Overall Players' Name Pos HT WT Speed College
1 26/26 Eddie Lacy RB 5-11 231 4.53 Alabama
The Packers haven't drafted a runner in the 1st round since Darrell Thompson in 1990.
Last year, before the dreaded Lisfranc injury, Cedric Benson showed them what a REAL RB can do.
2 25/55 Markus Wheaton WR 5-11 189 4.45 Oregon State
At the NFL scouting combine, the 5-foot-11, 189-pound Wheaton finished 10th at his position in the 40, (4.45 seconds), but finished fourth in the 20-yard shuttle (4.02), second in the 60-yard shuttle (11.16) and third in the bench press (20 reps at 225). Randall Cobb, James Jones and Jordy Nelson are all similar, pound-for-pound receivers.
3 26/88 AJ Klein LB 6-1 250 4.66 Iowa State
Kimberly native comes home to help shore up some inconsistencies at the Inside Linebacker position.
Does this spell the end of the run for Hawk?
4 25/122 Barrett Jones C 6-4 306 5.22 Alabama
Could quite easily been a late 1st early 2nd Rd choice. But in January 2013 suffered the dreaded Lisfranc injury.
So he may not be ready for training camp.
5a 26/159 Montori Hughes DL 6-4 327 5.23 Tennessee-Martin
Way back in early January DL coach Mike Trgovac lamented the need for linemen with "length".
5b 34/167 Corey Fuller WR 6-2 204 4.43 Virginia Tech
After serving as a backup in 2010 and 2011, Fuller finally cracked the starting lineup as a senior, recorded a team-high six touchdowns and finished second on the squad in both catches (43) and receiving yards (815).
6 25/193 John Boyett S 5-10 202 4.52 Oregon
Some football players are measured more by their intensity than their height; Boyett certainly fits in that category. Though he won't hit the 5-foot-11 mark on the measuring tape at the Combine, he's had no problems making plays on the ball as a three-year starter at free safety and opposing receivers and running backs will tell you his hits come as hard as those from any prototypically-sized defensive back.
7 26/232 Marc Anthony CB 5-11 196 4.47 California
Possesses the height and length scouts like in an outside corner to man-up against bigger receivers.
But his long-legged frame means his recovery speed, backpedal, and ability to transition are a bit slower than many of that of smaller prospects at the position. His overall bulk and strength are average.
Trades will be explained here.
