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.
