Green Bay Packers Draft History: Ted Thompson and his perennial Super Bowl contender
Ted Thompson’s draft picks … 2012
… and the reason the Packers are perennial Super Bowl contenders …
Of the picks from 2012, the Packers still have Nick Perry, Casey Hayward and Mike Daniels on their roster. Jerel Worthy in the second round was considered at the time to be an excellent pick, but injuries and inconsistency led to his release in his second season. We won’t talk about Jerron McMillian, Terrell Manning or Andrew Datko.
