Ted Thompson’s draft picks … 2011

… and the reason the Packers are perennial Super Bowl contenders …

Randall Cobb was a dynamite selection in the second round, but the rest of this draft was a stinker, starting with the first round selection of Derek Sherrod. Davon House was a serviceable pick, but he was followed by D.J. Williams, Caleb Schlauderaff, D.J. Smith, Ricky Elmore and Lawrence Guy.
