It has been a long time since the Packers used the 15th overall pick in the NFL Draft. For one thing, the team has been a perennial playoff participant over the last three decades, meaning that they are usually selecting later in the first round. Additionally, the team rarely trades up in the first round, so reaching that 15th spot is unusual.
Indeed, the last time the Packers picked 15th was exactly 30 years ago, back in 1993. That year’s draft saw the team select a nasty linebacker known for big hits with the 15th pick, drafting Clemson’s Wayne Simmons.
