Packers rookie grades: Every draft pick ranked from worst to best at bye week

9. Tucker Kraft, TE

Grade: D

Drafted: Third round

Rookie tight ends face a steep learning curve, and Tucker Kraft is proof of this. The Packers' third-round pick has found life difficult in the opening five games. Kraft's blocking needs work, although Matt LaFleur didn't help his rookie in Week 5 by having him block All-Pro pass rusher Maxx Crosby. Kraft has two catches for five yards.

It's early in the season, but the Packers will hope to see Kraft make progress as the season goes on, especially with his blocking.

8. Colby Wooden, DT

Grade: C

Drafted: Fourth round

Colby Wooden has quietly made a solid start to his Packers career. He is yet to register a sack, but the fourth-round pick has three pressures, two hurries, one QB hit, and one tackle for loss in the opening five games, per Pro Football Reference. Wooden can become a starter in the future.

7. Dontayvion Wicks, WR

Grade: C+

Drafted: Fifth round

Dontayvion Wicks has played a little over half of the Packers' snaps through five weeks. Only Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed have played more. Wicks has seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown. He has shown good separation ability and can stretch defenses vertically. Jordan Love has looked his way at crucial moments -- five of Wicks' seven catches went for first downs.

With time to develop as a backup, Wicks can become a key contributor on offense for the Packers.
