Green Bay has no good luck drafting at 114 Geronimo Allison Jersey , but a divisional rival found a good-looking young player there a year ago."The Green Bay Packers hold ten draft picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, and for a team that has a storied, 100-year history, they have predictably made selections in the past at every one of these draft slots. 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.In the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers hold a pair of selections. The first, pick #114, is their own; the second came over from Washington in a trade for safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix last fall. Today, we’ll take a look at the Packers’ results when picking 114th and those of the last few years.While the Packers’ three draftees at 114 played two combined seasons in the NFL, there have been a few notable picks there across the league. Most recently Kevin King Jersey White , the Detroit Lions seemed to find a starter at defensive end, drafting Alabama’s Da’Shawn Hand there last spring. Handstarted eight of his 13 games last season, recording three sacks and a pair of forced fumbles. After recording a Pro Football Focus grade of 87.3 as a rookie, he is penciled into the starting lineup for 2019 and beyond.The best player ever drafted at 114 is running back Herschel Walker. After he had played two years in the USFL, the Cowboys gambled on him in the fifth round of the 1985 draft. Walker played one more season in the USFL before it folded, and the Cowboys retained his rights after that. He eventually ran for over 8,000 yards with almost 5,000 receiving yards in 12 NFL seasons. Packers’ History at #1141949: Rebel Steiner, DBA defensive back from Alabama, Steiner played for just two seasons in the NFL, starting for the Packers in 1950 and 1951. His first season saw him post some gaudy numbers http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-quinten-rollins-jersey , as he recorded seven interceptions, including a 94-yard pick-six.1951: Bob Noppinger, OTNoppinger did not suit up in an NFL game, instead serving in the Korean War. He did come back to Green Bay after the war, but had an ankle injury in his only preseason with the team that brought his career to a quick end. Noppinger passed away at the age of 79 in 2006.2000: Anthony Lucas, WRLike Noppinger, Lucas had early injuries in his NFL career that forced him to retire before playing a game in the league. He had a tremendous junior season at Arkansas in 1998, catching 43 passes for 1,004 yards and ten touchdowns.Recent History at #1142018: Da’Shawn Hand, DE, Alabama (Lions)2017: Samaje Perine Womens Nick Perry Jersey , RB, Oklahoma (Washington)2016: Ricardo Louis, WR, Auburn (Browns)2015: Jamil Douglas, G, Arizona State (Dolphins)2014: Aaron Colvin, CB, Oklahoma (Jaguars)2013: B.W. Webb, CB, William & Mary (Cowboys)2012: Jaye Howard, DT Dean Lowry Jersey White , Florida (Seahawks)2011: Cecil Shorts, WR, Mount Union (Jaguars) The Packers didn’t hire any new people to this portion of the coaching staff, but they shook up the power dynamic."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCSTShareTweetShareSharePackers promote Chris Gizzi to head strength coach, but keep Mark Lovat on as assistantIt’s not often that a member of an NFL coaching staff willingly takes a demotion. However, it appears that this is exactly what happened in Green Bay this offseason under new head coach Matt LaFleur.On Monday, LaFleur and the Packers announced the final piece of the coaching puzzle for the 2019 season: the strength & conditioning coaching staff. In a move that was widely-expected, the Packers will have a new head S&C coach this season. However, what was more surprising are the facts that the team’s former S&C coach is remaining in the organization and that the new head S&C coach comes from within the former staff.Most important is the announcement that Chris Gizzi will take over as the head strength & conditioning coach for this season. He has been an assistant in that area for several seasons, starting with the team in a full-time capacity in 2014. Gizzi gets the job formerly held by Mark Lovat.However, Lovat is not leaving the organization. Instead http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jake-ryan-jersey , the team announced that he will be one of Gizzi’s assistants for 2019, along with Thadeus Jackson and Grant Thorne. The latter two assistants were on staff in those positions in 2018 as well.Thus, the members of the strength staff remain the same, but with a different man leading the group. Hopefully the Packers will have better luck with injuries under Gizzi’s watch than they did in 2018.UPDATE: According to LaFleur in his Monday press conference, it was actually Lovat’s idea to step back from the strength & conditioning coordinator position and to offer Gizzi the promotion. This suggests a great working relationship between Lovat and Gizzi, as well as a healthy respect between Lovat and the Packers organization as a whole.
