[QUOTE="MassPackersFan, post: 223946, member: 807"] Isn't everything we do on an internet chat board futile? Let's put our own grades on the players: #1 Jordy Nelson, WR Kansas State This pick isn't ****, but it sure is good. It strikes me as a pick to give some security to Rodgers in his first few years. Nelson is a solid dependable type of receiver who can get YAC and make lots of catches. He has the frame to shield the pass from defenders, he runs good routes, he's smart... he's not the type of guy who will leave our young QB out to dry. Grade: A- #2 Brian Brohm, QB Louisville Very high value pick. My only concern is spending a 2nd rounder on "competition" for Rodgers, although we all can agree that we need a decent backup in case of injury. The time of the iron man QB is over in Green Bay, and now our QB position is just as tenuous as every other team in the league. In terms of the player, though, very good pick. Another smart football player who seems to be capable of making the jump to the NFL. Grade: B #3 Patrick Lee, CB Auburn To be honest with you, I'm most concerned about this pick. I research CB's a lot because I felt it was our biggest need, and Lee started off high on my list and then slowly slid down. He is physical and fast, and I love the Auburn defense. He just doesn't seem to have that man-to-man edge that is needed to be successful in the pros. I hope he proves me wrong. Even in the highlight vids, you'll see a lot of the plays he makes are out of sheer luck as he's kind of wandering or giving up on the play. I do like his physical style though. Grade: C+ #4 Jermichael Finley, TE Texas Good player to develop. Has great physical ability, and he's young, so he has the time to learn and grow. Could be a serious weapon. Grade: B+ #5 Jeremy Thompson, DE Wake Forest Going to be our best value pick of this draft. He will get bigger and more explosive, and could supplant KGB at RDE, which I've been pushing for all offseason. Very happy with this pick. Grade: A- #6 Josh Sitton, OG Central Florida To be honest, don't know much about him. Seems like a camp body and some competition for the guard spots in case we have to move Colledge out to tackle (if Barbre doesn't develop). Not thrilled about it.1 Grade: D #7 Breno Giacomini, OT Louisville Another crapshoot with a late round offensive lineman. Grade: D #8 Matt Flynn, QB LSU Could secure the #3 QB position, and therefore would be a fine pick in the 7th round. Grade: B #9 Brett Swain, WR, San Diego State Don't really know. Camp body? ST player? He has the speed, but we don't have the roster spot for him. If he's good enough he'll end up on the practice squad. Grade: C- Overall draft grade: B [/QUOTE]
