No Green Bay Packers from the 2015 draft class are under contract for the 2019 season. You can't fairly judge a draft class until four years later. With that in mind, it's fair to say the Green Bay Packers' 2015 draft class was one of the worst under Ted Thompson. Just four years later, none

IMO, while history should serve as an aid to future endeavors, dwelling on the past does not serve a good purpose sometimes. Unless it serves a real benefit today and moving forward, let's please not play the blame game. It only fosters negative feelings and I believe that we need the positive feelings that I believe that the future is bringing.

My opinion is just that, my opinion. It is not meant as an attack or put down. I just want to see more positive post moving forward.

They need to learn from the past mistakes, and the past good picks.
Every draft is a crap shoot.
And free agents are proven, but you have to really decide if the player is still relevant, or on the down side of their career. See Jimmy Graham and Cook as examples. Cook was still great and they should have found a way to keep him, and Graham has been a waste of money.

Ryan is ok, but I'm looking forward to a healthy Martinez and Burks. The concern is replacing a slowed down Clay Matthews as GB's Edge Rush has slowed down. The GM will be aware of this and I feel confident that he will be working on it. DE Nick Perry has failed to impress me too, sense he was the #1 pick in 2012. He might well serve as a backup for a hungrier pass rusher.

FA might present an answer or even perhaps a player trade. I would not include any of GB's top round draft picks in any FA deals, they are just too valuable.

More Ted hate.

Randall is an INT machine. He's just not on the team. Rollins was hurt, repeatedly. Both were also playing out of position.

Ty Montgomery, again: still in the league.

Jake Ryan INJURED. Lost what speed he had with that knee. Is he still on IR?

Hundley: Still better than Seneca Wallace and a lot of these guys. He was a 5th rounder. Fact is, Van Pelt wanted to leave, Mike wouldn't let him, so he wasn't doing his job. As a result, Hundley wasn't ready when disaster struck. He looked very good as a rookie.

Still we got years of play out of all these guys. And btw, we got Kizer for Randall. Say what you want, but that's legit value.

I guess old Ted had an off year in 2015, 2016 looks to be one of his best from top to bottom!

Day One
Round 1, pick 27 (#27 overall): Kenny Clark, defensive tackle, UCLA

Day Two
Round 2, pick 17 (#48): Jason Spriggs, offensive tackle, Indiana

Round 3, pick 25 (#88): Kyler Fackrell, outside linebacker, Utah State

Round 4, pick 36 (#131): Blake Martinez, inside linebacker, Stanford

Round 4, pick 21 (#137): Dean Lowry, defensive end, Northwestern

Round 5, pick 26 (#163): Trevor Davis, wide receiver, California

Round 6, pick 25 (#200): Kyle Murphy, offensive tackle, Stanford

No Packers from 2015 draft class under contract for 2019

I feel like this is a very poor clickbait title, because with the exception of the 1st round picks all rookie draft picks contracts are 4 years long ...

So every single year, every single team, doesn't have players under future contract unless they accepted the 1st round picks options.

So in 2021, this will still be true because the Packers had no 1st round pick in 2017 draft, no matter how the draft turns out, though it's been questionable so far...


But to the bigger point... Yeah the 2015 draft was bad for the Packers... and it's too bad we couldn't keep Randall and move him to FS, where it sounds like he is doing better, but sounded like he wore out his welcome.
