Montravius Adams (Round 3, 93rd overall): D-

Adams is right up there in the conversation for the most disappointing Packers’ draft pick in 2017-a list that has way too many candidates. He was a beast at Auburn and really displayed great physical traits. Although he was a bit raw, the Packers thought they could teach him the technique that would allow him to become a dominant force in the league.

Unfortunately, Adam’s career got off to a very slow start. He suffered a stress fracture on the second day of Training Camp in 2017 and needed to have surgery. He ended up only appearing in seven games during his rookie season and barely even played when he was active.

He appeared to come back stronger than ever in 2018 and the team was raving about him throughout training camp. He followed that up with a strong preseason and the arrow was certainly pointing up. Unfortunately, he failed to capitalize on the momentum and he had another bad season for the Packers. He might be on his last straw with the organization depending on how his 2019 campaign goes.
