During his time with the Green Bay Packers, Ted Thompson has historically been one of the most active NFL General Managers in terms of making trades during the NFL Draft. In fact, over the past five years, Thompson has made 12 trades involving a total of 37 different draft picks.
Interestingly enough, those 12 trades have been made with only five other teams. He has traded with the 49ers and Patriots three times each and the Broncos, Eagles, and Dolphins twice apiece during that five-year span.
Here is the full history of Thompson's draft-day trades going back to the 2009 season, including the names of the players selected in those trades.
