Examining the Packers' draft profile

Here is a look at the factors that will come into play in the Green Bay Packers draft room:

Decision Makers
This is a very steady front office with a lot of titles and fairly big egos, but it seems to work and the individual roles seem to be clearly defined. It all starts with executive vice president, general manager and director of football operations Ted Thompson, who has all the power, but lacks a big ego. He is a football guy who still watches a lot of tape and that makes his opinion more informed. The coaches -- including head coach Mike McCarthy -- have input, but they are not decision makers. That leaves the personnel decisions up to a trio of veteran front office guys – John Dorsey, Reggie McKenzie and John Schneider. All three have keen scouting eyes and Thompson listens to them.
