Just from last year (2006):
We traded pick #36 to New England for Picks #52 and #75
With #52 we picked Greg Jennings
With #75 we picked Jason Spitz
With the #37 pick that we acquired for Javon Walker
We traded #37 and #139 to Atlanta for #47, #93, and #148
With #47, we picked Darin Colledge
With #93, we traded to STL for #109 and #183
With #148, we picked Ingle Martin
We traded the #109 pick (from STL) to Philadelphia for #115 and #185
With #183 (from STL) we picked Johnny Jolly
With the 2 picks from Phildelphia we chose Wil Blackmon (115) and Tyrone Culver (185)
So -- with our regular 2nd round pick in 2006, we traded down and got 2 starters. Then with our pick that we got for Walker, we got 5 players -- one of which was a major contributor (Colledge) and others who potentially could contribute this year (Blackmon, Culver)

Don Hutson caught 99 Touchdown passes from 1935-1945. Don was the Packer first real Super Star. In 1939 he averaged a Packer record 24.9 yards per catch on 34 catches which stand stills today.

The tight ends during "The Glory years Packers" era coached by Vince
Lombardi were Ron Kramer (1959-1964) And Marv Fleming (1964-1970)
Max McGee (1954-1957 Thru 1967) was a little slim to be tight end . He was 6'3"- 210 LBS when he retired.

I remember when Don Hutson used to own the record for receiving TDs. Had the game been different and had Hutson played 16 game seasons, he'd probably have 150+ TDs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the defender able to chuck the receiver the whole way down? Nowadays, you only get one chuck within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. Completely different game nowadays.
Lofton was great, a real pleasure to watch. He played his heart out every game, even though he played on losing teams. Every time he touched the ball, he was a threat. I remember reverses and double reverses he turned into long TDs. Plus Lynn ****ey was good at the long ball and it was a blast watching ****ey throw bombs to Lofton.
Sharpe would have been a Hall of Famer had it not been for that injury. Could you imagine if Favre had Sharpe to throw to until the 2000s? We'd probably have another SB or two.

Some of the older folks here could tell you this story much better than I could. In the 1st Super Bowl, McGee wasn't even expecting to play. He had been out drinking the night before and was on only a few hours of sleep, and was badly hungover. I think either Dale or Dowler went down that game, and McGee had to come in. He ended up having a spectacular day.

**** I'm 22 and I def knew Max was a WR... but I was always kind of a Packers history buff so to me thats like saying you thought Nitschke was a DT

Yep, I know the story. I actually have the SB on DVD and the ice bowl too! The reason I thought he was a TE was because I thought Boyd Dowler was a TE. I guess the guys shape jus made me think TE for some reason.

Super Bowl Packers 35 Chief's 10- on January 15, 1967.
I will let former Green Bay Press-Gazette Sports Editor Art Daley tell the story:
.
" McGee in his 11th year of pro football was great. he got his chance when Boyd Dowler was hurt on 3rd play of the game. and caught twp touchdown passes of 37 and 17 yards and set up 5th Touchdown on 31 yard catch. Maxie finished with seven catches and 138 yards.
Ellijah Pitts scored two touchdowns on cracks (runs)of 3 and I yards and (FB)Jim Taylor scored the other touchdown on a 14 yard run.
Green Bay's big indivdual gun was (QB) Bart Starr , the NFL's "Most Valuable Player." he carried on that tradition winning the nod as the Super Bowls first Outstanding player.
Starr completed 18 of 23 passes for 250 yards and Two Touchdowns ...and was successful on 11 of 13 third down plays. He marched th Bays on touchdown drives of 80, 73, 5, 56, 80 yards.
The Packers offense never let up and rolled up 358 yards including 228 in the air, (and had ) 21 first downs and average of 5.6 yards per play compared to the Chiefs' 3.7. The Bays ran 64 plays, the Chiefs 59."
This is from another article in the same copy of the Press-Gazette.
"Bart Starr was named the winner of Sport Magazine Super Bowl Award as the outstanding player of Sunday's game . He will receive a 1961 Corvette at a luncheon in New York.. Starr is the fourth Packer to win the coveted award since 1958. Paul Hornung in 1961, Ray Nitschke in 1962 and Jim Taylor in 1965.
The Sport magazine editor said that both Starr and McGee were considered for the award but "we selected Starr for his excellent overall job in leading the Packer offense of its decisive victory."
These articles were From my very yellow (with age) copy of the Green Bay Press-Gazette dated Monday, January 16, 1967. I hope you enjoyed the articles
Max McGee did tell the story that he was out most of the night before the Super Bowl I game, but he had a great game anyway. .
