Pains me to say this, but #30 probably should go to Clarke Hinkle. Dude is in the NFL Hall of Fame and the Packers have a practice field named after him.
#32 - not much. CB Dave Brown maybe?
#35 - Bob Flowers
#38 - Arnie Herber - this seemed to be his primary number.
#39 - Mike Prior"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Since they don't have to be good or famous, how about someone who, from my younger years, was bad and perhaps infamous?
John Hadl. Dan Devine, I think, traded the mother ship to the Rams for a 34 year old QB who proceeded to play about a season and a half for the Pack. In his only full season, he threw 6 t.d.'s and 21 int's. Had a passer rating of....53.
I think Devine gave up two firsts and maybe another pick. Has to go down in Packer history as one of if not the worst acquisition ever. Ever."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

#45 - Emlen Tunnell
#56 - Nick Barnett. Hendricks was great, but he played 1 year in GB.
#60 should be Lee Roy Caffey. It's a tossup. Both are Packers Hall of Famers, but Anderson only wore #60 for two years.
#61 - Lavvie Dilweg"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

#67 - Karl Swanke
#70 - Keith Uecker

#79 - Dave Hanner"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Sadly, he's probably the best. It looks like numbers in the high 90s weren't used before the late 80s.Originally posted by cpk1994"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Chuck Mercein wore #30. So I'd have to list Green over him.
Gotta go with Ron Kramer at #88 over Keith Jackson.
Would list Elijah Pitts at #22 over Mark Lee. Pitts scored a TD in Super Bowl I.
No doubt Travis Williams at #23!

He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

The definitive source from the oldest of the 'old school' packer fans. Well done, Maxi.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi
P.S. Don't forget about Mudbaths and Bloodbaths if you want to relive classic Packer-Bear rivalryComment

Nice to hear from you again, when you old guys don't post for awhile you never know what happened.Originally posted by Maxie the TaxiAfter lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.Comment

Thanks for your concern. I'm still hanging in there.
I actually stop by quite a bit to read. Just haven't had anything brilliant to add.
Another notable #13 was Chester Marcol. One of my favorites.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.
