| First Overall NFL Draft Picks To Play For Packers | | Player | Played for Packers | Obtained by Packers | Drafted by | College | Year | | Bobby Garrett, QB | 1954 | Six-player trade | Clev. Browns | Stanford | 1954 | | Paul Hornung, HB | 1957-62, 64-66 | Bonus choice, '57 draft | Green Bay | Notre Dame | 1957 | | Russell Maryland, DT | 2000 | Unrestricted free agent | Dallas | Miami (Fla.) | 1991 |
NOTE: Jack Concannon (1964, Boston) and Jim Grabowski (1966, Miami) were taken first overall in AFL drafts, but opted to sign with the NFL teams that drafted them...From 1947-58, the first pick was a Bonus Choice, awarded to the winner of a random draw. That club, in turn, forfeited its last-round draft choice and was eliminated from future draws. The Packers were next-to-last to get the Bonus; it was abolished after 1958, when the last club had received one Bonus pick.
