With the combine finished and free agency around the corner, this time of year is always filled with optimism for NFL fans. No picks have been made, no injuries have been suffered, no dreams have been waylaid by the harsh realities of professional football.
While this is a very exciting time, it’s also appropriate to remember some of the big swings and misses the Packers have made in the draft in the past decade.
This is always a tough position for me since I have the utmost respect for all of these guys. To even be drafted into the NFL is an elite club, and for the most part, the reasons why the to-be-mentioned players didn’t find success with the Green and Gold are uncontrollable for players such as injury and scheme.
