[QUOTE="TJV, post: 641197, member: 4300"] Calling a draft crap because you disagree with how picks #166, #206, and #247 (end of the fifth round to the end of the sixth) were used seems like an overreaction to me. Yes. I too was disappointed with the Hundley pick because I didn’t think he’d take Tolzien’s spot this season and I thought it was too early to be looking for Rodgers’ replacement (which of course would be a remarkable feat in the 5th round). But what if the Packers had him rated as a third round pick? I took a look at the NFL draft tracker ratings and of course the top two QBs had much higher ratings than the rest at 6.7 and 6.2. Then there’s a group of four rated 5.24 to 5.4 (I’m using these ratings just as an example). The third QB taken at pick 11 of the third round was Garrett Grayson. His grade was 5.38.
