Nate Davis – USA Today

Overall grade: B-

Overall it is still a decent grade, but of the bunch, Davis is the least impressed with the draft that Gutekunst and the Green Bay Packers put together. Unlike most, Davis thought that selecting Rashan Gary at 12 was a good value pick, but moving up to grab Darnell Savage was a bit of a reach in his eyes. An opposite perspective from what we have seen up to this point.

"Kinda felt like a Ted Thompson draft with the priority on big guys and defense with weapons for Aaron Rodgers coming later. First-round DE Rashan Gary seems like good value at No. 12 even if the defensive line and edge looked well stocked previously. But trading up to No. 21 for S Darnell Savage might not have been necessary. Second-round OL Elgton Jenkins and third-round TE Jace Sternberger should make Rodgers happy."
