The draft picks, by the numbers

The Packers have assigned uniform numbers to the players they drafted over the weekend.

Remember that they're subject to change.

No. 10 -- QB Matt Flynn. (He wore No. 15 at LSU. Retired long ago for Bart Starr.)

No. 11 -- QB Brian Brohm. (He wore No. 12 at Louisville. Already taken by Aaron Rodgers.)

No. 16 -- WR Brett Swain. (That was his number at San Diego State.)

No. 22 -- CB Patrick Lee. (He wore No. 20 at Auburn. Already taken by Atari Bigby.)

No. 68 -- T Breno Giacomini. (He wore No. 78 at Louisville. Already taken by Allen Barbre.)

No. 71 -- G Josh Sitton. (He wore No. 70 at Central Florida. Already taken by Joe Toledo.)

No. 87 -- WR Jordy Nelson. (He wore No. 27 at Kansas State. Already taken by Will Blackmon.)

No. 88 -- TE Jermichael Finley. (He wore No. 16 at Texas. Tight ends must have numbers in the 80s if available.)

No. 99 -- DE Jeremy Thompson. (He wore No. 98 at Wake Forest. Already taken by Alfred Malone.)

Oh yeah, he's the fat Mike Vick lookalike.

I forgot we signed him up.

Good spot re: Grant wearing "27".

Maybe someone should tell Jordy.
