Kristopher Knox – Bleacher Report

Overall grade: A

The Green Bay Packers were one of just seven teams that received an “A” grade from Knox and he called both Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage “difference makers”. After an active free agency and a very good draft, Knox believes this is the most complete Packer team that we have seen in a while.

Although Knox didn’t really dive into the day three picks for the Green Bay Packers, he must be a fan of who they selected, as that as well was taken into consideration when handing out his final grades. Once you’re outside of the top 100, each pick is a lottery ticket, and with Gutekunst’s approach of grabbing the top athletes available, he is giving himself a greater opportunity of success.

"The Green Bay Packers got difference-making defenders in Round 1—pass-rusher Rashan Gary and safety Darnell Savage. They added a starting-caliber center in Elgton Jenkins and potential future starter at tight end in Jace Sternberger. Thanks to the draft and the moves made in free agency, the Packers appear to be as complete a team as they’ve been in recent memory."
