Green Bay Packers
Grade: A+ Yes to everything on this board. They added two of the best secondary players in this draft in the second round, a perfect fit for them in the middle of their line in Montravious Adams in the third round, a high-floor outside linebacker in Vince Biegel and three really good running backs — Aaron Jones could be a stud. Don't sleep on Malachi Dupre, pick No. 247, either.

Green Bay Packers
Draft picks: Kevin King (No. 33 overall), Josh Jones (No. 61 overall), Montravius Adams (No. 93 overall), Vince Biegel (No. 108 overall), Jamaal Williams (No. 134 overall), DeAngelo Yancey (No. 175 overall), Aaron Jones (No. 182 overall), Kofi Amichia (No. 212 overall), Devante Mays (No. 238 overall), Malachi Dupre (No. 247 overall)
Day 1 grade: A
Day 2 grade: A
Day 3 grade: C
Overall grade: B+
The skinny: The Browns presented Green Bay excellent value in a trade out of the first round, so the Packers took it. Instead of trading down for more picks, Ted Thompson stayed put and got the difference-making cornerback he needed in Kevin King. Then they selected safety Josh Jones, who will play in the Micah Hyde role for the Packers despite being a solid 220 pounds. Bulking up the defensive line with Montravius Adams is a big help, as he can play nose tackle or five-technique. He's an excellent value at No. 93.
On Day 3, Green Bay continued to improve the defense. Vince Biegel is a solid inside/outside linebacker, which they needed. They also found an excellent replacement for power back Eddie Lacy in Jamaal Williams, and then hit the position twice more with UTEP's Aaron Jones and Devante Mays. That's probably overkill for a position where there will be plenty of undrafted free agents available. Receiver DeAngelo Yancey was one of the hottest names among prospects who weren't invited to the combine this year.
i love the 'Day 1' A. Packers did nothing that day.
HOFer
Except turn one pick into both King and Biegel. That's why Thompson gets an A and you get a block.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Grading a Draft Class before they have even stepped, officially, upon an NFL field is like trying to appraise a house without actually visiting the property, it is just not done .
As much as I like the positions of the players selected in this years draft, that does not translate directly into players that will be able to elevate their game as we would like to see happen. Some may have maxed out their level's of play already at their College's. Others still , may have levels they have yet to achieve. One position, IMO , that was not addressed in this year's draft was an Edge Rusher. An OLB or DE that could back-up Matthews and Perry, but that may be addressed in the UDFA pool .
If your not the lead dog , then the view never changes !
where have you been? drafts have been graded/judged/critiqued by the ne'er-do-wells/sports media/fans since...drafting began! it's un-american not to.
I disagree, but defend your right to be goofey .
Do you even know who of GB's 2017 Draft picks visited the Team prior to the Draft ? How many/can you name them ? (if any)
If your not the lead dog , then the view never changes !
lol...well hell no. off the top of my head i can't even name half the guys that were acutally drafted. what does my memory have to do with media grading drafts? lol
i didn't give them a grade.
King obviously has star potential. The S/LB too. I think the RB Williams and Adams both have high end starter potential. Montravius is a wild card. Big guy. Never know. Biegel looks like the type to contribute. The OL guy is a high upside project. Both receivers and the last back could be alright too......
We have a chance to have one of those really impactful drafts. Would love to get a star and 3 or 4 starters. I really hope so!!! We need a SB soon or our Rodgers window will start to close.
I read that article. GB got the only A+
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Crap, A+ from the place that still has Hillary ahead in the Electoral count...
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
