The second round of the NFL Draft is usually where Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson strikes gold in the draft.

Eddie Lacy, Casey Hayward, Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, and Nick Collins illustrate how important the second round has been in building the Green Bay Packers’ roster though the past decade. That said, expect Thompson to find a player this year who will become a notable player for years to come. With the “best player” philosophy embedded in the organization, there are a few players who might fall to the Packers in the second round that would be highly considered by Ted Thompson.
