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.Since the draft began, the Packers have made four selections with the 12th overall pick in the draft. One of them was a true bust, but they found two other productive players who had decent careers with the team. However, one player stands out well above the rest, as Vince Lombardi found a player who was critical to his team’s success in the 1960s and who went on to become a well-deserved member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Packers’ History at #121984: Alphonso Carreker, DEMost recently, in 1984, the Packers selected Carreker, a defensive end out of Florida State. He started for the Packers at left defensive end for five seasons, totaling 18.5 sacks in that time. His high-water mark came in 1985, when he recorded nine sacks. Carreker finished his career in Denver, playing 22 games over three seasons there. 1974: Barty Smith, RBDrafted out of the University of Richmond Aaron Rodgers Jersey , Smith was a versatile back who was adept as a receiver out of the backfield. In seven years with the Packers, he recorded 1,942 rushing yards (with 18 touchdowns) and 979 receiving yards with three more scores. He started 43 games for the Packers, primarily in 1977 and 1978 as the team’s fullback. Both of those seasons saw him rush for over 500 yards and add at least 250 yards through the air.1969: Rich Moore, DTA Villanova product, Moore played in and started 20 games for the Packers, including every game of his rookie season in 1969. However, he was out of the league after 1970, being described as a “disaster” by director of player personnel Pat Peppler. Apparently head coach Phil Bengston — Vince Lombardi’s replacement — insisted on drafting Moore over the objections of many of the Packers’ scouts because of his 6-foot-6, 280-pound build.1961: Herb Adderley, CB However, the Packers landed a future Hall of Famer in the 1961 NFL Draft. That year, they made Michigan State cornerback Herb Adderley the 12th selection. Although Adderley did not start at corner as a rookie, he did in his second year, earning the first of four first-team All-Pro honors. Adderley would end up winning six NFL titles — five with the Vince Lombardi-era Packers and one with the Dallas Cowboys in 1971.Interestingly, Adderley’s cousin’s grandson is Nasir Adderley, a safety prospect in 2019 who could be a target for the Packers late in the first round.Recent History at #122018: Vita Vea, DT Randall Cobb Color Rush Jersey , Washington (Buccaneers)2017: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson (Texans)2016: Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville (Saints)2015: Danny Shelton, DT, Washington (Browns)2014: Odell Beckham, Jr., WR, LSU (Giants)2013: D.J. Hayden, CB, Houston (Raiders)2012: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State (Eagles)2011: Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State (Vikings) The Green Bay Packers’ quest for a new offensive line coach continues this week, and a new name is among the reported candidates. According to Packersnews.com, head coach Matt LaFleur will likely hold an interview with Frank Pollack https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Corey-Linsley-Jersey , who served as the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive line coach last season.Pollack is searching for a new job following the Bengals’ firing of Marvin Lewis. Interestingly, Bengals players and fans appeared to think very highly of Pollack — starting running back Joe Mixon among them. In a since-deleted tweet, Mixon said the following:Meanwhile, Josh Kirkendall of Cincy Jungle noted that the Bengals’ rushing success skyrocketed in 2018, thanks at least in part to Pollack’s arrival. Cincinnati ran for just 3.6 yards per attempt in 2017, but that number increased to 4.7 this fall.In addition to those numbers, one statistical metric found Pollack to be a top-five offensive line coach in the NFL. Justis Mosqueda looked at the sacks and tackles for loss in the run game allowed by a coach’s lines over his career, relative to the league average, summing them up. As of the writing of his article in early December, that analysis put Pollack as the league’s fifth-best O-line coach, among those employed in that role at that time. When looking at Pollack’s history prior to going to Cincinnati, it’s clear to see why his numbers are so good and why teams (and players) would view him in high regard. He coached the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line from 2013 to 2017, serving as assistant OL coach for his first two years before earning a promotion in 2015. While in Dallas, he helped a group of highly-drafted talent achieve their potential by becoming one of the league’s best lines. Pollack’s first stint as the primary offensive line coach came in 2012 with the Oakland Raiders, and before that he worked for the Houston Texans, where he and LaFleur worked together under Gary Kubiak.The Packers are also scheduled to interview 49ers assistant OL coach Adam Stenavich for this position, with additional interviews possible in the coming days.
