Over the next few days leading up to this year’s draft, Acme Packing Company will examine the Packers’ history at each current slot for 2019, as well as run down the names of recent picks around the league at the position.The Green Bay Packers have selected 150th overall four times in their history. While they have received only modest production from those four picks, there is one particular memory about one of these players that likely stands out in the mind of many Packers fans — a thrilling ending to a comeback victory over a division rival.Meanwhile, the best player ever selected at 150 overall by any team was a linebacker from tiny Fort Valley State University. In 1987, the Pittsburgh Steelers grabbed Greg Lloyd at #150. After a quiet first two years, Lloyd grabbed a starting job as one of the Steelers’ outside linebackers in 1989, a job he would hold down for a decade. Lloyd made five Pro Bowls and got three first-team All Pro nods, recording 54.5 sacks and a whopping 35 forced fumbles in his career.The Packers did not find a player nearly that good at 150, but they did land one player known for a few clutch receptions and another who went on to a few solid years with other teams.Packers’ History at #1501951: Ed Stephens, RB1965: Jim Weatherwax, DT1998: Corey Bradford, WRAlthough Stephens and Weatherwax have faded into obscurity https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Antonio-Morrison-Jersey , Bradford had a few nice years for Green Bay. In his second year, he caught a game-winning touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Lambeau Field. That catch came with just 12 seconds remaining on the clock, capping a furious two-minute drill after the Vikings had taken the lead just before the two-minute warning on a Randy Moss touchdown.After four years with the Packers, Bradford signed a free agent deal with the expansion Houston Texans. He started for them for the better part of four seasons, then closed out his career with one final season in Detroit.2008: Breno Giacomini, OTGiacomini struggled to start his NFL career, landing on the Packers’ practice squad for a few years and playing just one game for the Green and Gold. After being plucked off the practice squad by the Seahawks in 2010, Giacomini spent seven years as a starter for the Seahawks, Jets, and Texans. His playing days look to be over, however, after he was released by the Raiders during training camp last summer.Recent History at #1502018: Genard Avery, LB, Memphis (Browns)2017: Jordan Leggett, TE Quinten Rollins Jersey , Clemson (Jets)2016: Jordan Howard, RB, Indiana (Bears)2015: Cedric Thompson, S, Minnesota (Dolphins)2014: Aaron Lynch, EDGE, USF (49ers)2013: Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois (Steelers)2012: Rokevious Watkins, G, South Carolina (Rams)2011: Jason Pinkston, OT, Pittsburgh (Browns) The Packers’ head coach also addressed Darnell Savage’s start to camp and Dean Lowry’s new contract." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme Packing Company homepageHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityFollow Acme Packing Company online:Follow Acme Packing Company on TwitterFollow Acme Packing Company on FacebookFollow Acme Packing Company on InstagramLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchAcme Packing Company main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Matt LaFleur feels ‘really good’ about Packers’ defensive line after release of Mike DanielsTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesEarly on Wednesday morning, shocking news broke that the Green Bay Packers were releasing defensive tackle Mike Daniels on the day that players report for training camp. A few short hours later, head coach Matt LaFleur went up to the podium to address the media for a scheduled press conference and Brett Hundley Color Rush Jersey , predictably, he was asked about the transaction.LaFleur began by complimenting the departed Daniels, saying that he has “meant a lot to this community, a lot to this football team” before adding “I still think he’s a really good player.” However, LaFleur immediately moved on, saying “we feel really good about the group that we have” and listing the names of nearly every lineman on the roster. He then was careful to point out Rashan Gary and Za’Darius Smith as versatile players who can play inside, saying that all together “we feel like we have a group in place that can get the job done.”The move is a difficult pill for many Packers fans to swallow, and it was clearly a challenging decision for the team as well. “Unfortunately that’s part of this business, there’s tough decisions that you have to make,” LaFleur said. However, he emphasized that he and general manager Brian Gutekunst communicate daily, adding that “there’s never a decision that’s made that is a surprise to me.”As for the start of training camp, LaFleur deferred when discussing whether there would be any players sitting out Thursday’s opening practice. One player he did address, however, is rookie safety Darnell Savage https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Kyle-Murphy-Jersey , who was placed on the Non-Football Illness list on Monday when he reported for camp. Savage is recovering from having his wisdom teeth extracted, but LaFleur sounded optimistic. “We’re anticipating him to be going tomorrow,” LaFleur said, “(but) that’s kind of a day-by-day thing to see how he feels.”LaFleur also addressed the other defensive lineman in the news recently: Dean Lowry, who just received a three-year contract extension. “It’s always good when you can get a guy in here and you can reward him,” LaFleur said of the fourth-year pro. “He’s a team guy, he gives great effort every day, he’s reliable, he’s accountable, I love the energy he brings to the defense.”Gutekunst is scheduled to speak to the media later this afternoon, likely following the Packers’ shareholders meeting.
