As for boards, Bob McGinn of the Journal Sentinel has won the top 100 board two years in a row. Here's his list, not in specific order 1 to 100 but you can see prospects ranked within their position groups. Simple to see how highly valued our first three picks are ranked:

As for Nick Perry having the lateral ability to cover, I refer you to the PC's the Packers brass had after the draft. They mentioned how the "game is changing" and how the Satins game of last year the Packers were never in base defense. They drafted another CB. Is it impossible to see that they acknowledge Perry's last of coverage ability by drafting another CB? Is is possible Capers sees a scenario where Perry rushes and he has another CB in coverage to make up for Perry's perceived shortcomings?
Can we agree that Perry might not be perfect but still be better in coverage than Walden/Zombo/Jones? There is no question his potential to generate rushing the QB is far and away higher than these three? The perceived problem of last year's defense was lack of ability to generate a rush. As far as my view goes, they've vastly improved that position.
DE was an obvious weakness last year, the Packers grabbed their favorite 5 tech at a great value. I would be surprised if any of us would have questioned Worthy had the Packers grabbed him at 28. Finally, they drafted a CB that several analysts suggested had the 2nd best ball skills in the draft and a CB who "fit" GBs style of play.
I've always hoped one day the Packers could load up the back end of the draft by selecting "high risk/high reward" players and injury picks as the Packers would be solid enough to allow the coachable to develop and the injured time to heal. We don't need them to contribute right now. I'm delighted to see that the day has arrived for the Packers and they were able to draft some possible "home run" picks late.
Looking around at the rest of the NFC North, or the rest of the NFL for that matter, the Packers did not lose ground to other teams, they either tread water or surpassed them in young talent once again.
