Reacting to PFF's Green Bay Packers Offseason Grade

The Packers are always “solid”. Draft and develop is rarely spectacular until guys become spectacular. They made 2 splash moves in free agency and then filled holes in the draft.

Love your content Nags keep up the good work!!! I’d listen to you whether it’s a 2 minute video or a 2 hour one just listening off all your favorite packers players past and present

It would be interesting to go back 10 years and compare these "graders" to actually what these players end up doing? The pundits need to be graded!!

Hey, Aaron! Probably a bigger splash in the first round gets an A. Just to differentiate the lucky teams that picked top 15 with A's. I give us an A for getting what we needed most!

Nags, your content is always great. Another good one just like the recent Packer draft. Go Pack Go!

Having listened to a few other national reporters’ thoughts, I’m assuming adding/taking a CB high in the draft would’ve moved it into A territory. An example, Bill Barnwell said it’s concerning the Packers are basically asking Eric Stokes to be healthy and a CB2 this upcoming season (never minding the fact that Valentine is the presumptive CB2, but national media gonna national media)

Old style traditionalist Packer fan here, I think it's absolutely ridiculous grading a draft this early, you just can't say who's a miss or a home run right now. Most of these guys ranking draft picks are the ones who had several of their own mock draft picks & if the Packers didn't pick anybody that they picked, they are automatically pissed & downgrade the Packers actual draft. I say @ the very earliest, grade this draft @ the end of the season but still would go another full year before I stuck my neck out.

i think it was "solid" because everyone was expecting the Packers to pick DeJean or Kool-Aid in the draft... myself included. But honestly, it really could be another great draft class like last year.

Gutes has exhibited a knack for finding players with intangibles that possibly can't be computed via PFF.

Grades often do not reflect where a team drafts. The Bears had 4 picks. They got Caleb (pick 1), Odunze (pick 9), Amegadje (75) and punter Tory Taylor in round 4. Many pundits gave them an A for that, but it is hard to go wrong when you have two of the top 9 picks including first overall, and withthe benefit of them having a very high grade but no opportunity (yet) to justify or lament on the players. I would have downgraded them a bit for having so few picks (ie roster management could have been better)............and again for their acquisition of a punter in round 4. The Packers managed things better (more picks) and got quality players where they needed them. Overall I'd rate them above the Bears, draft-wise, taking into account where they both picked.

Grades are hilarious. I do like what the packers did this off-season overall, but it doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t lead to results.

I think the PFF guys are fair and thorough

Good post, Aaron. I'm a big fan of PFF, but no one gets it right all the time. Contrast their board with what teams thought of players. Our GM stated you can't fixate on players, which is what we draftniks do all the time! lol Just the first 4 picks puts the team in the "A" category for the draft, if you ask me, and add Xavier McKinney and Josh Jacobs to the mix, I feel the offseason grade is also an A. Let's not forget we have a new defensive coordinator who is generating a lot of excitement, too. Maybe my glasses are green, but I'm very pleased with what the Packers have done so far this off-season .

Most of the national draft pundits like "value picks" in relation to the consensus's draft big board. It appears that they don't like the selections of TyRon Hopper and Evan Williams, believing that they were both "reaches" taken a round or two too soon. It will be interesting to see who has the better "crystal ball" looking into the future, the national draft pundits or the Packers. The smart money is on the Packers. Go Pack Go!

Meanwhile the Lions have five players under 25 years of age and the top 25 and no one else in the NFC North is on there yet.. that's wild in itself..

Which North Division stadium has the best food item? And, what is it?

Honestly i couldn't give a flying turd what ppf have my team down as, i really couldn't. September the Packers will flex again and show what they've got.

I give the team B plus. I would have liked to see more work at the linebacker position. Maybe a veteran but overall i'm happy with the off season

Good move doing stuff like this atleast with reacting to legit people can’t talk for everyone but I’m into it

An A rating would’ve been given for doing more in FA and drafting closer to consensus. From a popular national media standpoint, they did indeed get McKinney, awesome move, but they washed more or less at RB, slight overpay for Nixon, and according to consensus in the draft took some missteps. That’s why it’s a B from that standpoint whether in reality it’s an A or an F.
