Round 2, Pick 5 (36) (From Jets)
Jordy Nelson WR 6'3" 217 Kansas State
Pick Analysis: After playing defense as a sophomore, Nelson moved to receiver and caught 122 passes in 2007. He can also be dangerous in the return game with track speed. The Packers liked his hands and speed in pads.
Round 2, Pick 25 (56) (From Browns)
Brian Brohm QB 6'3" 227 Louisville
Pick Analysis: If you're Aaron Rodgers, you're probably scratching your head right about now. The Packers are looking to add a little competition to this year's training camp in order to motivate Brett Favre's successor. In his senior year at Louisville, Brohm improved his numbers from the season before, which seems to bode well for his ability to improve going forward.
Round 2, Pick 29 (60)
Patrick Lee DB 6'0" 200 Auburn
Pick Analysis: With some age on their cornerbacks, the Packers went with Lee. He will have a chance to learn from veterans Charles Woodson and Al Harris, while slowly working into the rotation. Lee deflected 20 passes to go with five interceptions.
Round 3, Pick 28 (91)
Jermichael Finley TE 6'5" 243 Texas
Pick Analysis: Finley has a lot of potential, but is somewhat immature and needs time to develop. He was an outstanding basketball player in high school and there is a tradition of tight ends with a basketball past becoming great players in the NFL.
Round 4, Pick 3 (102)
Jeremy Thompson DE 6'5" 264 Wake Forest
Pick Analysis: Thompson holds Wake Forest's record for an interception return at 86 yards. He is a great prospect at this point in the draft. Thompson ranked much higher than this on many draft boards.
Round 4, Pick 36 (135) (Compensatory selection)
Josh Sitton OT 6'4" 319 Central Florida
Pick Analysis: Sitton is a player that was discovered at Pro Day. There were a lot of scouts down there at Central Florida to watch Kevin Smith and he really impressed the teams. This is a good spot for him to go in the draft as his measurables had him soaring up draft boards.
Round 5, Pick 15 (150) (From Vikings)
Breno Giacomini OT 6'7" 303 Louisville
Pick Analysis: Giacomini spent time at tight end and on the offensive line in college, which you can see in his knee bend and athletic ability. He has exceptional size and decent speed. Giacomini loves football and has a passion for the game. He's a project but has a great attitude and promising skills.
Round 7, Pick 2 (209) (From Rams through Vikings)
Matt Flynn QB 6'2" 228 LSU
Pick Analysis: Flynn is a good decision maker, who has played in a successful program at LSU. With Brett Favre's departure, the Packers look to be stockpiling quarterbacks in order to create some competition for Aaron Rodgers.
Round 7, Pick 10 (217) (From Bengals through Rams)
Brett Swain WR 6'1" 200 San Diego State
Pick Analysis: Swainhas decent speed and size, but he's not particularly outstanding in any particular area. But he does have a chance to make the roster as a depth wide receiver. The Packers have done well in the past taking receivers late in the draft with players such as Donald Driver and Ruvell Martin.
