The Five Biggest Draft Busts in the Ted Thompson Era

You're only as good as you draft — at least in Packers general manager Ted Thompson's mind.

Thompson has been highly publicized to stick to his "draft and develop" philosophy, and for the most part, there have been no complaints with the talent and eventual starters that Thompson has produced under this year in and year out mechanism. Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Clay Matthews, B.J. Raji and T.J. Lang highlight the early years of Thompson drafting stars in Green Bay. More recently, David Bakhtiari, Eddie Lacy, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Mike Daniels and Randall Cobb — all of which have made some kind of impact with the Packers since 2012.
