Green Bay Packers - B (crazycoffey/pestilenceaf23)
1. CB/S Reggie Smith
2. OLB Ali Highsmith
2. QB Chad Henne
3. OT Oneil Cousins
4. TE Martin Rucker
5. CB Jack Ikegwuonu
7. DT Carlton Powell
The Packers' Draft was unconventional, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was bad. Chad Henne in the 2nd round is not the deathknell many in this thread had made it out to be. We only know so much about Aaron Rogers, and we definitely know he's got virtually nothing behind him on the depth chart. Henne is a great prospect for the brilliant QB minds in Green Bay to work on, and he's NFL ready enough to step on the field in case Rogers misses games. I make no excuses for their picking of Ali Highsmith in the 2nd, though. What the hell.
They also did a surprisingly sturdy job doing what the Chiefs should have done some time ago and provide the team with two great CB prospects; one for the immediate future (Smith) and one for a little down the road (Ikegwuono). They finally, finally snatch the TE heir apparent to Bubba Franks that it seems they've needed for three years now, and Powell is a fair choice in the 7th to boost up their depth. It's not a great Draft, but it is a solid Draft, and they deserve credit for it.
