Today, we reveal players 90 through 86, a group comprised exclusively of undrafted free agents facing long odds of landing a spot on the Packers’ final roster or practice squad.90: Nydair Rouse, CBAn undrafted prospect from West Chester University, Nydair Rouse had to battle his way onto the Packers’ 90-man roster as a tryout player. He apparently did enough during rookie minicamp to warrant a longer look. Rouse offers decent size for the cornerback position (5-foot-11, 188 pounds) and has experience playing in the box as an off-ball linebacker. Those traits profile as a potential contributor on special teams.On paper, the Packers look fairly deep at corner, especially with Tramon Williams expected to shift back from safety. The numbers at the position limit Rouse’s opportunities for exposure, at least in the eyes of APC’s voters.89: Larry Williams, OLUnlike many of the other rookies ranked at the back of the roster, Larry Williams comes from a major college program. Williams appeared on track to become a multiyear starter for Oklahoma State before health issues intervened. A high-ankle sprain cost him the final eight games of 2016 and and an undisclosed injury ended his followup campaign on the eve of conference play. Williams finally enjoyed a healthy season in 2018, starting every game during the regular season before opting out of his team’s bowl game as he prepared for the draft.As with Rouse Womens Bryan Bulaga Jersey , Williams faces a number crunch at his position. The Packers return four of their preferred starters and several top backups from a season ago, added multi-position blocker Billy Turner early in free agency, and selected Elgton Jenkins in the second round of the draft. Williams needs to climb quite far and avoid a repeat of his injury issues to have a fighting chance at a job with the team come September.88: Darrius Shepherd, WRAnother tryout player that secured a contract, Darrius Shepherd stands out from his competition at his wide receiver. While the Packers list every other wideouts at 6-foot-1 or taller, Shepherd stands at just 5-foot-11. That comes as little surprise given general manager Brian Gutekunst’s preference for length at the position.While height makes Shepherd an anomaly in Green Bay, it could work to his advantage if the Packers determine they need a more traditional slot receiver. He remains a long shot, however.87: Kabion Ento, CBAs Kabion Ento adjusts to life in the NFL, he will also attempt to learn a new position. The 6-foot-1, 187-pound rookie played wide receiver during his time at Colorado, but his length and athleticism make him a more appealing prospect as a cornerback.The Packers have invested time in time in undrafted receiver-to-corner converts before Womens Aaron Jones Jersey , striking gold with Sam Shields and employing Herb Waters for several years. Ento will need to quickly adapt to his new position while proving his receiver skill set can lead to takeaways.86: Davis Koppenhaver, TEThough far from a football power, Duke produced two NFL tight ends this year. Daniel Helm, the better athlete and more productive pass catcher, signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent. Meanwhile, the less physically gifted Davis Koppenhaver landed a deal with the Packers.While Koppenhaver caught nearly half as many passes as his counterpart, he proved far mroe prolific in the red zone. In 2018, he hauled in seven touchdowns, among the highest marks of any tight end in college football. If Koppenhaver can showcase his nose for the end zone and establish himself as a blocker, perhaps Green Bay will give him a longer look than expected. A pair of Texas A&M teammates and Packers draft picks look like great values to at least one NFL analyst." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareShareTwo Packers picks named among 15 best values in the 2019 NFL DraftPhoto by Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesHitting on players in the later stages of the NFL Draft is critical to the success of any NFL team. It’s something that former Green Bay Packers general managers Ron Wolf and Ted Thompson did for years — turning picks in the third rounds and later into steady with regularity.Wolf was especially productive in round three over his tenure in Green Bay. Of the 14 third-round picks the team made with Wolf calling the shots, he found nine players who were multi-year starters for the team and several who have been inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame. Check out this list:Robert BrooksEarl DotsonAntonio FreemanBrian WilliamsWilliam HendersonTyrone WilliamsMike FlanaganCletidus HuntMike McKenzieMeanwhile, Thompson made his best hay in rounds four and five Womens Reggie White Jersey , particularly in the trenches. Brady Poppinga, Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, Mike Daniels, JC Tretter, David Bakhtiari, Dean Lowry, and Blake Martinez were all fourth-round picks in the Thompson era, and he found Corey Linsley, Micah Hyde, Marshall Newhouse, and Aaron Jones in the fifth.Meanwhile Womens Davante Adams Jersey , the 2018 Draft seems to have Brian Gutekunst off to a decent start in the later rounds, thanks to some impressive rookie seasons from a pair of day-three wide receivers. However, he is also earning early praise for two picks in this year’s draft. Pro Football Focus’ Mike Renner listed the 15 most underrated picks in rounds three and up from this April’s selection meeting, and two Packers picks are on his list. Interestingly, the two were college teammates in 2018.First up, Renner is excited about the selection of third-round tight end Jace Sternberger, taken with the 75th overall pick:Although PFF grading weighs heavily into this analysis, it’s easy to see from the tape why Renner gets so excited here. And while tight ends usually take a while to make an impact in the NFL, waiting until round three to draft one ensures that the team does not need him to become a game-changer as a rookie.Renner then mentions Sternberger’s Texas A&M teammate, Kingsley Keke, as the other great value that Gutekunst found:This is a fascinating point about Keke, one that goes along with the discussion about his ideal playing weight. It’s interesting to wonder where Keke might have been drafted had he not dropped weight and moved out from nose tackle to end as a senior http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-aaron-rodgers-jersey , or perhaps if he had only cut a little bulk and played in the B gap instead. It’s entirely possible that the Packers may have found the next Mike Daniels in the fifth round this year, and the timing could not be better with Daniels’ contract due to expire.For now, Packers fans will be waiting another week to see these players work into OTAs with the rest of the team, as rookies have the week off. However, starting next week the rookies should start to see their roles defined a bit in practice, and in less than three months they’ll get to finally start strapping on the pads for full-contact practices in training camp.
