Thunder and Lightning: Packers can Suffice with Rushing duo of Montgomery, Lacy

The last time the Packers drafted an offensive skill position in the first round in the Ted Thompson era, they selected some quarterback named Aaron Rodgers. The last time the organization ever selected a running back in the first round was Brent Fullwood in 1987. The Packers have had 29 drafts since with 28 chances at a first-round pick (In 2008, Green Bay traded their first-round selection to the New York Jets for a second and a fourth, selecting wide receiver Jordy Nelson and quarterback Brian Brohm respectively), and they've selected a player on the defensive side of the ball 18 times.
