[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 554290, member: 5535"] I think I'm in agreement with Kipers' assessment: Packers got good talent (B+)but didn't fill enough positions of need (B-), rating them a "B" in the draft. This was a successful draft for FS and WR. Calvin Pryor may have more upside, but Clinton-Dix looks to me the more NFL-ready FS. Banking on upside is always a gamble. We were getting thin at WR and now with Adams and Abbreberis in the fold, all of a sudden the Packers look good. We also filled a need at C. I know that the Packers are high on Tretter, but he's hardly played at all and I'm glad we got a real C in Lindsley in case Tretter doesn't work out. We partially filled a need at TE, but Rogers is a developmental player who the Packers picked apparently because they think he's got a good pro skill set, i.e. a lot of upside. 1 or 2 years down the road he could be an impact player but not now. Thornton joins a pretty crowded DL, and again looks like the Packers chose him because he's very fast for a 300lb DLineman. Again, upside, and he'll be draft and develop like Rogers, which isn't a bad thing. Somebody is going to be the odd-man out on the DL however, and I wonder who it's going to be. OLB also just became a pretty crowded place with Bradford. Now there's Perry, Mulumba and Bradford opposite Clay. Seems that the GB coaching staff has a much higher opinion of Brad Jones than we do. /shrug. ILB was the second most needed position on the team, at least in the opinion of many of us here, and TT didn't address it at all. Why he didn't go for Smallwood in round 7 is something I wonder about. Did the GMs know something about Smallwood after he was rated so highly before? [/QUOTE]
