Over the next few days leading up to this year’s draft, Acme Packing Company will examine the Packers’ history at each current slot for 2019, as well as run down the names of recent picks around the league at the position.Since the draft began, the Packers have made four selections with the 12th overall pick in the draft. One of them was a true bust, but they found two other productive players who had decent careers with the team. However, one player stands out well above the rest, as Vince Lombardi found a player who was critical to his team’s success in the 1960s and who went on to become a well-deserved member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Packers’ History at #121984: Alphonso Carreker Color Rush Rashan Gary Jersey , DEMost recently, in 1984, the Packers selected Carreker, a defensive end out of Florida State.

Carreker finished his career in Denver, playing 22 games over three seasons there. 1974: Barty Smith, RBDrafted out of the University of Richmond, Smith was a versatile back who was adept as a receiver out of the backfield.

However, he was out of the league after 1970, being described as a “disaster” by director of player personnel Pat Peppler. Apparently head coach Phil Bengston — Vince Lombardi’s replacement — insisted on drafting Moore over the objections of many of the Packers’ scouts because of his 6-foot-6, 280-pound build.1961: Herb Adderley, CB However, the Packers landed a future Hall of Famer in the 1961 NFL Draft.
