[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 542780, member: 5830"] I'm trying to get an accurate picture of who was (mostly) responsible for each of the Packers' drafts. Here is my list of draft directors: 1921-49 Curly Lambeau 1950 Gene Ronzani 1951-59 Jack Vainisi (Gene Ronzani was the GM 1950-53 and Verne Lewellen 1954-59) 1960-68 Vincent T Lombardi 1969-70 Phil Bengston 1971-74 Dan Devine 1975-80 Bart Starr 1981-83 ???? 1984-86 Forrest Gregg 1987-91 Tom Braatz 1992-01 Ron Wolf 2002-04 Mike Sherman 2005- Ted Thompson Here are my issues/questions: 1) I've seen conflicting reports about whether Vainisi was running the draft in 1950 or 1951. Maybe he started in 1950 and his first draft was in '51. Anybody know who ran the 1950 draft? 2) Although Vainisi worked the Packers 1960 draft and didn't die until later that year, I am assuming that Lombardi was in charge of his first draft...effectively ending Vainisi's run. Anybody remember? 3) Who ran the drafts after the Board stripped Starr of his GM role in December of 1980? I know that Tom Miller and Bob Harlan split up the GM duties but don't remember who ran the draft...or was it still Starr selecting the players and Miller/Harlan doing the rest? [/QUOTE]
