QB Noah Shepard- Sr- South Dakota
It looks like the Packers are trying to address their QB depth issues here with Shepard. Now there is no guarantee he will make the roster, but he’ll at least compete for a spot – and that merits attention. Coming from the Division II ranks, Shepard is still very raw for a 3 ½ -year starter. He has a strong tendency to leave the pocket and scramble rather than stick in the pocket and check his reads. He did operate in a pro-style offense and does have a pretty quick release with decent arm strength. He needs a lot of work on his decision-making skills and will have to adjust to the much faster-paced speed of the NFL. He did improve consistently throughout his career at South Dakota and showed that he will work to continue to do so. So, time will only tell if Shepard is ready enough for the NFL and worth a roster spot. Keep in mind that the Packers were the only team to hold a private workout with Shepard before the draft.
