Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR (Round 5, 174th overall): B

It seemed like Valdes-Scantling and St. Brown took turns having good games. Where St. Brown had his turn toward the end of the season, Valdes-Scantling flashed in the early-middle part. Overall, he ended up with 38 receptions for 581 yards and two touchdowns. That’s not bad for a late fifth-round pick.

JK Scott, P (Round 5, 172nd overall): B

Gutekunst used another draft pick on a special teamer, opting to go with the punter out of Alabama who has a booming leg. Scott faired pretty well during his first season and quickly adjusted to the cold weather in Green Bay. He still has a long way to go before establishing himself as one of the better punters in the NFL, but he at least proved he belonged during his rookie year.

Cole Madison, G (Round 5, 138th overall): F

This grade may seem harsh, but Madison never reported to Green Bay at any point during the season. He was dealing with personal reasons which is certainly understandable. However, from purely a football standpoint, it’s an F grade anytime your draft pick never even makes it to training camp. The last we heard from Madison in August his agent said he still plans to play. We’ll see.
