Green Bay Packers draft picks (1970–present)


The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers have competed in the National Football League (NFL) since 1921, two years after their original founding by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun. They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) and play their home games at Lambeau Field in central Wisconsin.

The NFL draft, officially known as the "NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting", is an annual event which serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings; the teams with the worst win–loss records receive the earliest picks. Teams that qualified for the NFL playoffs select after non-qualifiers, and their order depends on how far they advanced, using their regular season record as a tie-breaker. The final two selections in the first round are reserved for the Super Bowl runner-up and champion. Draft picks are tradable and players or other picks can be acquired with them.

In 1970, the Packers took part in the first modern NFL draft after the completion of the AFL–NFL merger. With the second pick of the first round of that draft, Mike McCoy, a defensive tackle out of Notre Dame, became the Packers' first modern draft selection. In addition to the annual draft, the Packers participated in the 1984 NFL supplemental draft. This supplemental draft occurred after the formation of the United States Football League (USFL) with the primary purpose of selecting players that had already signed with a USFL team in a separate process from the annual draft. The Canadian Football League (CFL) was also included in this supplemental draft. In addition to the 1984 supplemental draft, since 1977 the NFL has hosted an annual supplemental draft for players who had circumstances affect their eligibility for the NFL draft. The Packers have only selected a player once in a supplemental draft, taking Mike Wahle in the second round in 1998. Since 1970, two players drafted by the Packers have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: James Lofton and LeRoy Butler. Lofton and Butler, along with 32 other Packers draftees, have been inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame. The Packers have taken part in every modern NFL draft since 1970, most recently in the 2024 NFL draft, where they drafted 11 players.
