Thompson also drafted Brandon Jackson in the second round (#63) of the 2007 draft. He's also drafted 7 OL within the first 4 rounds of the 8 drafts he's conducted.
Good catch on Brandon Jackson. Here is some more draft fodder that I've collected and analyzed over time:
Total Draft Picks:
Ted Thompson - 8 drafts - 76 picks used - 9.5 picks per draft
Mike Sherman - 3 drafts - 21 picks used - 7.0 picks per draft
Ron Wolf - 10 drafts - 91 picks used - 9.1 picks per draft (96 picks if you count the last 12 round draft in 1992)

It's interesting to contrast both the frequency in which a position was targeted in the draft and then the priority it was given based on the round. Further fodder for the great running game debate, is that Green Bay has not drafted a true starting running back since Dorsey Levens in 1994. Edgar Bennett was drafted two years early in 1992. One could argue that Ron Wolf used his 6th round draft choice in 2000 to trade for Ahman Green, but the fact remains that all of our starting RBs since Dorsey Levens have come via trade or free agency. Guys like Brandon Jackson and Najeh Davenport did get starts, but never panned out as true starters. It remains to be seen how a guy like Alex Green pans out.
