What did two of the NFL's renowned draft analysts think of the Green Bay Packers' draft class?
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Two of the NFL’s best draft pundits, ESPN’s Mel Kiper and The Athletic’s Dane Brugler , have rendered judgment on the Green Bay Packers ’ draft class. Here are their grades and where they ranked.Kiper was among the chorus of people who thought the Packers needed to draft an offensive tackle.in using his first-round pick on Arizona’s Jordan Morgan .
“Jordan Morgan was a stalwart on the blind side for Arizona who rarely missed an assignment. He blew up edge defenders in the run game and made them look silly in pass sets. He'll be a plug-and-play starter.”“On Day 2, I loved the additions of linebacker Edgerrin Cooper and safety Javon Bullard, both of whom I ranked No. 1 at their positions,” Kiper continued.
His “Day 3 pick who could surprise” was Duke’s Jacob Monk, who the Packers moved up to select in the fifth round. His quickness – physically and mentally – could give him a chance to start at center at some point.“First of all, it gives you another guy that can play center,” coach Matt LaFleur said. “That’s something that we’re always trying to look for is guys that have that ability, whether it’s a guard or a tackle to kick inside and snap the football.
“His open-field tackling, recognition skills and coverage ability make him a playmaker at a position that often underappreciated until offenses take advantage of below-average performances.
