Over a two-week period, more than 8,000 Green Bay Packers fans took part in the first ever Packers.com Draft Day Challenge in an attempt to predict the identity of the Packers' first selection in the 2004 NFL Draft.
Of that pool, 67 individuals correctly predicted that Arkansas cornerback Ahmad Carroll would be the Packers' first pick. Surprisingly, only one of those fans was from Arkansas -- Jim Gumm of White Hall.
The rest of the correct picks came from 23 other states and Australia (Brett Powell of Gin Gin, Queensland).
From the pool of 67 finalists, Packers.com randomly selected three prize winners. They are: Mark Jersild of White Bear, MN, Pam Bold of Big Sandy, MT, and Davd Brezeski of New Berlin, WI.
The prize packages won by these three contestants are listed below, followed by the names of the 64 other finalists and a list of the top 10 most common predictions.
Packers.com would like to thank the fans for their outstanding support!
