Full Version: Packers 05 draft class

Wolfpack
It take 3 year, to find out how good a draft is. And well this last year was their 3rd year.

1 24 Aaron Rodgers QB California
Well he hasn't become the starter, but at the same time I can't blame him for not beating out Favre. He has shown great improvement and did a very good job in the Dallas game. He seems to have the talent and the brains but he hasn't got the chance to prove it and keeps getting injured as well.

Grade: Really Unclear



2 51 Nick Collins FS Bethune-Cookman
Ok, it seem like a lot of people don't like him because he doesn't play big plays. I agree he doesn't make big plays but that not because he's not very very good. It's because he could catch a ball if it was throw at him. But he covered his guys very well. And it seems like the QBs were not even trying to throw it his way. Other than the Dallas game, and one bad play in the first bears game, he play every well, not many big plays but he didn't give many up ether.

Grade: B-


2 58 Terrence Murphy WR Texas A&M
Career ending injury as a rookie, looked slow to start off but then starting to get it and look better than Jones did this year, until the neck injury. Last I heard he was a low RB coach with the Packers, learning about RB and teaching them to go out and catch.

Grade: We will never know (B before the injury)


4 115 Marviel Underwood DB San Diego State
Another player they look good before an injury. His injury was before the second season started. It was a knee injury. I don't really remember him as a rookie, but I don't remember he was a very good on ST and it looked like he was going to earn the S starting spot IMO, when he got injured. BTW he's wasn't career ending but he hasn't come close to being where he was yet.

Grade: C+ when the injury happen.


4 125 Brady Poppinga LB Brigham Young
Another player that was injured. But Poppinga came back from it. He was a DE, in college until his SR. year when he moved to LB. He was injured his whole first year, and start at WLB his second, where he couldn't cover. He's great in the running game but still has trouble, covering even though he has gotten much better. He still has room to grow, and I hope he gets even better. One thing you know is he's going to give 100% every single time.

Grade: C


5 143 Junius Coston C North Carolina A&T
He's kind of a starter kind of a back up. When healthy (which isn't often) he's the starter. Has done ok.

Grade: C- (maybe even D+)


5 167 Mike Hawkins DB Oklahoma
Drafted as a very raw guy with talent, left after a while as a very raw guy with talent. He could bring it together.

Grade: D



6 180 Mike Montgomery DT Texas A&M
A very good backup (when healthy) he usually is healthy but had a knee problem for a while this year. He's good stoping the run and ok pass rusher.

Grade: C-


6 195 Craig Bragg WR UCLA
Couldn't make the team

Grade: F


7 245 Kurt Campbell CB Albany State (NY)
I think he was a LB with the Packers. He was ok to an injury. Then later he got cut.

Grade : D

7 246 Will Whitticker G Michigan State
Yeah not remembering now so.

Grade: ? D- to F-

Considering Colston was a 5th round pick, I'd say he's done pretty well for himself. Becoming a starter on the O-Line after being a 5th round pick is not an easy task. Yet he's won the job over more hyped players coming out of college, such as Daryn Colledge. I'd give him a B+. I'd also give Collins a higher grade than a B-. He has a starting job and he does a good job in coverage. May not make the big plays and big hits, but he gets the job done. I'd give him a B+ as well.
