Ted Thompson’s draft history: Why the Green Bay Packers are SB favorites
Ted Thompson’s draft picks … 2015
Many consider Ted Thompson’s 2015 draft one of the best in some time.
When you consider how surprisingly well his top picks – Randall, Rollins, Montgomery and Ryan – fit into the team’s roster during their rookie year, it was a good year.
With the exception of Montgomery, who was injured early and never finished the season, the rest of these players should contribute for years to come.
The other four picks – Hundley, Ripkowski, Ringo and Backman – all also have huge upsides.
It will be fun to watch these guys mature and become even more involved in the team’s future plans.
