A full draft grade can't really be given until all the players in that draft are with other teams or out of football.I don't look at the Packers 2017 draft, which was conducted by TT and say "Man, Gute did a bad job with that class!"  The success or failure of that class was on TT and his scouts.  Overall, I give TT a D grade on that draft class.  However, individually, I grade Aaron Jones as an A+ 5th round pick and a B for grabbing Jamaal Williams in the 4th.  Now Aaron Jones, himself, remains an "A" "player in the NFL.  He was for the Packers and he continued to be for the Vikings.  I would give Viking GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah an A+ grade for signing Jones to the contract that he did.  Might even give Gute a D for letting Jones walk away.If Gute and the Packers give up on Josh Myers and don't resign him, what will you give Gute as a Grade on selecting Myers?  What will you give Myers as an overall grade as a player, thus far?  Will either of those grades change in a year, if Myers is a Pro Bowl player for a new team in 2025?</blockquote>
