Grade The Packer Draft

[GrnBay007]

Give the Packer draft (as a whole) a grade based what you have seen and read about the players drafted.

Where's B+?

Where's B+?

.....always has to be one in the crowd

Use a B or an A-

[RashanGary]

I wanted to use B+. Instead I used A- but I think that is way early to be giving A's....

[GrnBay007]

If I had listed all.....A+, A, A- and so on it would have been a huge pool
If I had listed A+, A, B+, B.....people would have wanted A-, B- included.
I figured a B would suffice for B+


........poll masters just can't win.

I voted A-. Give TT lot of credit for sticking with the Hawk pick when he could have traded down or taken Davis. I liked the fact that he took a guy (Rogers) who may be the kick returner we are looking for. This was a strong year for TE, so I was a little disappointed he didn't take a shot there.

My guess is Tank will have a slightly different take on things.

[Guiness]

Anyone know how Miami got our pick at the top of the 7th?

I don't remember having any dealing with them. Freeman came from Miami, but I thought he was a FA.

[Tony Oday]

I said A- however I think it was a B+ until we see how the WR react to the NFL and how the linemen play.

Hawk is a stud and Hodge is another stud I cannot wait to see those two with Barnett

[HarveyWallbangers]

Sherman traded it for OT Brad Bedell.

[RashanGary]

LOL....Everytime shermans name is mentioned it's like a bad dream

I think it could have been better.

I realize day 2 is where you go for potential and take some risks, but when there is a solid player than immediately contribute or at the very least be one of the best backups in the league you take him. They really should have drafted Eslinger at some point. He was too perfect for the scheme not to take.

[Partial]

I also think the Greg Jennings pick was good.

If you ask me, the fact the Steelers refused to sit tight and pick-up Chad Jackson speaks volumes to me about his ability. He's all measurables and very little production.

I think this guy will be great!!

If Wolf used to say that three starters was a good draft, then this year it was vitally important to hit on four new players b/c the talent base is so thin. I think we may have done that.

1.Hawk-- He plays like Mike Singletary w/o the scary eyes. His feet are always going and, when he goes, he goes in a straight line like a missile. Instant starter.

2.Colledge-- We will really like this kid. He'll be another Kenny Ruettgers! (Hopefully without the annual holdouts.) I think he starts to begin the season.

3. Abdul Hodge-- Did you see the film on this guy! He looked like the Tasmanian Devil on the field. Just try to keep this guy off the playing field. He will at least play situationally.

4. Somehow one of the new athletic speed players (Jennings, Rodgers, Blackmon) will contribute as a kick returner, punt returner, or #3 or #4 receiver.

I called this draft a B because I like what I see in the top six drafted, and I thought most of the trade downs brought us a few good shots at special teams players or contributors down the road.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'd give Green Bay a B+. Liked some of the picks. Didn't like some. Overall, it was probably good, but they don't deserve anything better because they passed on Reggie McNeal for Ingle Martin, Greg Eslinger for Tony Moll, and Demetrius Williams for Cory Rodgers.
