2017 NFL Draft: Green Bay Packers final grade
Deangelo Yancey
Wide Receiver, Purdue
Yancey is a deep threat and a field extender. He was an underrated asset with a bad offense and quarterback but has the chance to make an impact as a deep threat. It may signal the end for Jeff Janis.
Aaron Jones
Runningback, UTEP
Christian McCaffrey was the best route running back, but Jones is the best pass catching back in the class. He has great hands and a catch radius to make plays near the line of scrimmage and in the deep passing game. Jones is a great match next to Jamaal Williams and is more refined than Ty Montgomery already.
Kofi Amichia
Guard, South Florida
Amichia is a tackle looking to slide inside. With the loss of T.J. Lang, the pick makes a lot of sense.
Devante Mays
Running back, Utah State
The Packers identified a need and a strength in the draft. They drafted a variety of running back options and one of the three will certainly hit.
Malachi Dupre
Wide Receiver, LSU
Dupre is bigger than Yancey and serves a similar purpose. He is tall, and a long strider. He brings decent deep speed and can win on the sidelines and over the top. Dupre played with running backs as his quarterback in college so there is some upside in this pick with Aaron Rodgers.
