This is the the UDFA class for 2017. Not a shock to say at least one or two from this list will make the team. To be honest the O-Line guys probably have the best shot. WIth how short Schneiders arms are I bet he kicks inside. Johnathan Calvin is very interesting too. Cody Heiman could be a special teams type of guy too.
Montay Crockett, WR, Georgia Southern: 5-11 1/2, 190, 4.40 time in the 40-yard dash. Finished with 32 receptions for 535 yards (16.7) and 3 touchdowns. Averaged 10.4 returning punts as a senior and 21.3 as a kickoff returner over several seasons.

Aaron Peck, WR-TE, Fresno State: 6-2 1/2, 239, 4.65. Hauled in 46 passes for 630 (13.7) as a senior after sitting out 2015 with a foot injury. A tweener with multiple-position possibilities. Highly intelligent. Visited Green Bay before the draft.

Thomas Evans, C, Richmond: 6-3, 305, 5.16. Bench-pressed 30 times.

Geoff Gray, G, Manitoba: 6-5 1/2, 315, 5.32. Made a pre-draft visit to Green Bay. One of two Canadians in the East-West Game. Scored 29 on the Wonderlic intelligence test.

Adam Pankey, G, West Virginia: 6-4 1/2, 307, 5.29. Long arms (34 inches), large hands (10 5/8 inches).

Christian Schneider, T, California-Davis: 6-5 1/2, 301, 5.11. Wonderlic of 27. Short arms (32 3/8).

Taysom Hill, QB, Brigham Young: 6-2, 221, 4.46. Played QB for Cougars but an AFC personnel man labeled him as an “athlete” capable of playing a number of positions. Turns 27 on Aug. 23. Career was abbreviated by major injuries. Visited Green Bay.

Izaah Lunsford, DT, Bowling Green: 6-3, 310, 5.11. Bench-pressed 28 times.

Cody Heiman, FB-ILB, Washburn: 6-1 1/2, 229, 4.53. Played ILB but was graded as a FB by one team. Has tremendous speed, a vertical jump of 36, bench press of 31 and Wonderlic of 33.

Johnathan Calvin, OLB, Mississippi State: 6-3, 266, 4.92. Projected as a DE by 4-3 teams and an OLB by 3-4 teams. Long arms (33 1/2). Seven sacks in 2016.

Donatello Brown, CB, Valdosta State: 5-11 1/2, 189, 4.6 estimated. Division II prospect.

Lenzy Pipkins, CB, Oklahoma State: 6-0, 196, 4.45. Big and fast.

David Rivers, CB, Youngstown State: 6-1, 186, 4.55. Fits the size profile the Packers seek at the position.

McCarthy talked yesterday about having a 20% roster turnover. I don't know how that compares to other years.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

That doesn't seem too crazy. Last year they kept all 7 draft picks, which is 13% right off the bat. If they keep the same + Bennett, Kendricks, Francois, Evans, that's 20%.

We could have a new punter. If he's consistent that's the big if. Rather have the directional guy who forces mostly fair catches, then the big boomer who doesn't have the hang time.
