Green Bay Edgar Bennett in the fourth round. Dorsey Levens in the fifth round. Ahman Green in a trade for Fred Vinson.
Those three players cost the Green Bay Packers next to nothing and were their leading rushers in 10 of the past 11 seasons. Now Samkon Gado, who didn't cost them anything at all, has come out of nowhere to become the bereft Packers' featured back now and perhaps into the future.

In the 1970s, it was Clement Haynsworth; in the 1980s, it was Robert Bork; and in the 1990s, it was Clarence Thomas. Now it is Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
