The Packers had the 6th pick and the personnel/scouting department lobbied heavily for Bart Starr to take Ronnie Lott. Instead in spite of having an in-his-prime Lynn ****ey at QB, Starr picked California's Rich Campbell, who wasn't even a mediocre NFL QB. Even Tony Mandarich contributed more than Campbell who in 7 CAREER games threw 3 TDs and 9 INTs. The saddest part of it is Starr later said he had concerns about Campbell's throwing motion. And Lott filled a huge need, unlike Campbell. Some here are probably too young to have seen Lott play, here's my summary of his HOF career: Holy crap! Seriously if you ever get a chance to see his highlight tape, take a look and you'll know why I shed a tear over that pick. </blockquote>
