Top 10 Best Green Bay Packers Draft Picks of the 2010s

Green Bay's drafts in the 2010s were either terrible or gems. The 2015-2017 stretch was especially brutal in the final years of Ted Thompson's tenure. But this list is dedicated to the gems Green Bay found in drafts from 2010 to 2019.

Here, we're looking at the 10 best Green Bay Packers draft picks of the 2010s.

The Top Ten

  1. Randall Cobb (2011, RD 2, Pick 64)

    Randall Ladonald Cobb II (born August 22, 1990) is an American football wide receiver for the New York Jets of the National Football League. He previously played for the Green Bay Packers (2011-2019, 2021-2023), Dallas Cowboys (2019-2020), and Houston Texans (2020-2021). Cobb signed a one‑year contract... read more

    Arguably Green Bay's best draft selection of the 2010s. Despite now being a Cowboy, Cobb will always be a Packer in my eyes. He was a bear hunter also.

  2. David Bakhtiari (2013, RD 4, Pick 109)

    Bakhtiari is a franchise left tackle who is extremely underrated in the NFL. Only one Pro Bowl nod? Yet he has two second-team All-Pros and a first-team All-Pro? That doesn't add up. He's currently the best left tackle in the NFL. A definite fourth-round steal.

  3. Bryan Bulaga (2010, RD 1, Pick 23)

    Bulaga has been Green Bay's right tackle since he was taken in the first round in 2010, after Chad Clifton went down with an injury. He ended up helping the Packers to a Super Bowl triumph and has been our right tackle since.

  4. Davante Adams (2014, RD 2, Pick 53)

    Davante Lavell Adams (born December 24, 1992) is an American football wide receiver, currently signed with the Los Angeles Rams after stints with the Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Jets. He played college football at Fresno State, where he became a two-time First-team All-Mountain... read more

    In the eyes of most fans in 2014 and 2015, they said he was a bust. But all it took was a little time, and now Adams is their #1 receiver on the roster. He has two Pro Bowl nods to his name and is just getting started.

  5. Kenny Clark (2016, RD 1, Pick 27)

    Clark did not do much at all in 2016, but in the final half of the 2017 season, he had 4.5 sacks. It was the start of a breakout for Clark, who had 6 sacks in 2018 and could have made the Pro Bowl. Definitely one of Green Bay's best first-round picks of the 2010s.

  6. Corey Linsley (2014, RD 5, Pick 161)

    Linsley is now the anchor of Green Bay's offensive line and had a Pro Bowl level season in 2018. A steal in the fifth round indeed.

  7. Blake Martinez (2016, RD 4, Pick 131)

    Martinez has been a contributor since his rookie season. He has been the NFL tackling co-leader twice so far and had 5 sacks in 2018, a great total for an inside linebacker. Like Kenny Clark, he is just getting started.

  8. Aaron Jones (2017, RD 5, Pick 182)

    Aaron LaRae Jones, born on December 2, 1994, is an American professional football running back for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the UTEP Miners and was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. In seven seasons... read more

    Jones was a quality running back who should have been drafted higher. Once behind Ty Montgomery and Jamaal Williams on the depth chart, he is now the top running back in Green Bay. He has the explosiveness and quickness to succeed, and he has shown that in his two years in the league.

  9. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (2014, RD 1, Pick 21)

    Ha'Sean Treshon "HaHa" Clinton-Dix is a former American football safety. He played seven seasons in the National Football League, primarily with the Green Bay Packers. As of 2023, he serves as the Director of Player Development for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide.

    Despite the rough ending in Green Bay, Clinton-Dix was still a great player during his tenure with the Packers.

  10. Jaire Alexander (2018, RD 1, Pick 18)

    Alexander had a great rookie season and proved the doubters, including myself, wrong.
