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.

dfosterf (4m) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (20m) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (27m) : *Friday*

dfosterf (29m) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (30m) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (42m) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (49m) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (50m) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (51m) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (54m) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (54m) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (59m) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (1h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (1h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (1h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?

dfosterf (1h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (1h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (1h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (1h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (8h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
