Draft Picks:

1 (30): Damarious Randall, CB, Arizona State

2 (62): Quinten Rollins, CB, Miami (OH)

3 (94): Ty Montgomery, WR, Stanford

4 (129): Jake Ryan, ILB, Michigan

5 (147): Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA

6 (206): Aaron Ripkowski, FB, Oklahoma

6 (210): Christian Ringo, DL, Louisiana-Lafayette

6 (213): Kennard Backman, TE, UAB

Best Pick: Brett Hundley

It seems odd that the best pick for a Super Bowl contender comes in the fifth round, especially when they selected a quarterback. If all goes well, Hundley shouldn't see the field once during the regular season. Aaron Rodgers will stay healthy, play every game and Hundley can just sit with a clipboard in hand and watch Rodgers.

That's exactly what Hundley needs–Hundley has the raw tools (arm strength, athleticism, velocity and football IQ), but he needs a great coaching staff to build him up. It will take time, you can't teach a quarterback how to read the defense, recognize blitz packages and the secondary and how to handle and react to pressure. This is at least a two-year project, but Hundley isn't the only one who benefits.

While Scott Tolzien can be a fine backup quarterback, he is on a one-year deal and doesn't offer the arm strength or athleticism that Hundley does. If Rodgers goes down, Hundley has more physical tools to present challenges for opposing defenses than Tolzien. He could potentially challenge Tolzien for the backup job as a rookie, while spending hundreds of hours in camp being built from the ground up, just like Rodgers was years ago. If all goes well, this fifth-round pick could be shipped for a second-round or even first-round pick in two to three years.

Worst Pick: Ty Montgomery

An argument could be made for Randall. He was Green Bay's first-round pick, selected over names like Eric Kendricks, Malcom Brown and Eric Rowe. While Randall may not have been the best player available, his value was around the first-second range. Montgomery was the most head-scratching selection of the Packers' draft class.

Green Bay is set at wide receiver; Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams set up an excellent three-receiver set. While some like to point to Green Bay's battle for the fourth receiver spot, Green Bay relies heavily on 11 personnel. Eddie Lacy in the backfield, Richard Rodgers just off the tackle. When Green Bay uses a four-receiver set next season, a spot that will likely be filled by Jeff Janis, who essentially redshirted last season.

Montgomery has nice size and impressive speed, but there are two major problems keeping him from being an impact receiver as a rookie. His hands and ball skills are poor and he is a poor route runner. He doesn't possess a great understanding for the position but showed flashes at running back. He excels as a return man, an area where Green Bay absolutely needs help. Someone of Montgomery's ability can greatly improve field position from where the Packers were last season.

But you don't draft a kick returner or gadget player in the third round. Montgomery had a sixth ground grade across multiple sites, recognized for being not much more than a returner and "specialist" on offense. If Green Bay wanted a receiving option, besides Janis and Jared Abbrederis, they could have taken significantly better WR's like Justin Hardy or DeAndre Smelter. Given time and a possible position switch t running back, Montgomery could become an intriguing weapon in this offense. But for as nice of an impact that he will bring in the return game, a third-round pick was too early.

Instant Impact: Jake Ryan

Ted Thompson waited until the fourth round to address one of Green Bay's biggest needs, but found a potential impact rookie all the same. Ryan almost seems made to play for the Packers; a captain at Michigan who was often recognized for his intelligence, instincts and underrated athleticism. Ryan also moved around the defense during his time at Michigan, playing both outside and inside linebacker. 

Ryan will play inside for the Packers and walks into camp with little competition in his way. Sam Barrington has one spot likely locked up and while Clay Matthews could stay inside, it seems the coaching staff wants to move him back to his more natural position on the outside. That would clear the way for Jones to move atop the depth chart, with a little competition from last year's fourth round pick Carl Bradford.

If Ryan can lock up the starting job, with an improved defensive line eating up blockers, Julius Peppers and Matthews on the outside, it could open up plenty of holes for Ryan to fill in and stuff the run. He could even surprise this season dropping back into coverage, while he'll never be stout in coverage, he won't be a liability by any means.

Final Grade: B-

For all the rumors connecting Denzel Perryman and Bryce Petty to the Packers, none of that happened. Thompson once again proved he keeps everything close to the vest, always having surprises on his draft board that go against the grain. Proof you can just never buy into draft rumors involving the Packers.

This was by no means a bad draft – Green Bay addressed its secondary, improved its special teams and found a potential starting linebacker in the fourth round. The Packers are strong believers in "draft and develop", keeping their own core guys together and extending their draft picks to second contracts. This philosophy focuses on the future, which symbolizes this draft perfectly.

Rollins, Randall and Hundley are unlikely to contribute in any significant way this season. Randall's path to the slot is blocked by Micah Hyde, while Rollins and Hundley are development prospects. The same can be said for Ripkowski, Ringo and Backman. Ryan could start very quickly, but fans should still temper their expectations. Lastly, Montgomery can uplift the return game, but will need time to become a real offensive weapon.

Needs were filled and this could be a very promising group two years from now, but right now this was a solid draft. Good enough to get a B-.
