I would really like to thank all contributors for their thoughts and observations, especially Nerdmann and Zero2Cool. This was my first draft as a member of PACKERSHOME.

You guys get an A+

I think 6th and 7th round picks are cut by a good # of teams across the league. If you look at them through the trade calculator all the 7th round picks in the whole draft and not worth even one 3rd rounder. Best not to get too attached to them.

For example i think outside of Cole Madison none of the guys drafted in the 5th round or later are odds on favorites to make the roster, without injuries during training camp or one of them really standing out they likely are all practice squad or stash on IR types.

JK Scott (punter) 50/50 he beats out Vogel for the job
Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR) Project 25-50% chance he makes the roster
Equanimeous St. Brown (WR) Same, project 25-50% chance to make roster
James Looney (DL) We didn't add many DL/EDGE so probably close to 50/50 to make roster.
Hunter Bradley (LS) Maybe the only late draft pick I feel pretty confident makes the roster (65%?)
Kendall Donnerson (EDGE) Freak athlete but major project, unless he makes all the ST groups 10% chance

I like these guys but you got to be realistic about their chances.

I am actually surprised we made that many picks. Granted one was for a punter and a long snapper which is not normal. I just wonder if we can stash all the guys who will not make the team on the PS? There is going to be lots of competition at training camp. I am afraid that some of these guys will be cut and signed by other teams which seems like a waste.

All post are indeed welcome, yet few have had the courage to post your grade on the Packers 2018 Draft Class. I graded it with a B+.

Again, how do you grade the Packers 2018 Draft ? [confused]

My grade for the draft is an A-:
- the first 2 picks were outstanding - quality and need
- picking up a 1st next year for a third, outstanding
- not sure about the kid from Vanderbilt
- saturation bombing at WR should yield at least one excellent player

As others have voiced, my only qualms are:
- No Tight Ends....and we need at least 2
- Lack of a classic edge rusher

I am less concerned with the edge rusher. I think Pettine will have more aggressive techniques from the middle 3 on the defensive line, i.e. more disruptive penetration versus the pat-a-cake, control your lane approach which seemed to be preferred by DC. Regardless, a more robust up front push should help CM3 and NP (and hopefully VB) in the pressure/sack department.

Zero2Cool (2h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?
Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL
Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.
Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.
beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?
beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?
beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why
Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.
beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."
Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme
Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline
