2012 Draft — Final Rounds

The 2012 NFL Draft is history with the completion of the final rounds on Saturday. The first of the Packers’ fourth-round picks was DT Mike Daniels from the University of Iowa.
Also chosen in the fourth round was SS Jerron McMillian from the University of Maine.
With only one pick in the fifth round, Green Bay picked OLB Terrell Manning from N.C. State University.
They traded away any picks in the sixth round, and ended up with two in the seventh. The first of these picks was T Andrew Datko from Florida State University.
The second seventh round choice, and their final one of the 2012 Draft was QB B.J. Coleman from the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.
We welcome all of these new members of the Green Bay Packers. All of them may not make the team ultimately, but we hope they enjoy their stay in Titletown.
