Packers' 2017 draft class: 5 players who need to leap into their second year

-- It's still too early to form too substantial of judgment on the Green Bay Packers' 2017 draft class, but expectations are, well, expectantly high.

Roughly 15 months have passed since the Packers added three running backs, two defensive backs, two wide receivers, an offensive lineman, a linebacker and a defensive lineman to their roster.

To this day, only one of those players -- LSU's Malachi Dupre, a wide receiver -- is no longer with the team.

While most of the Packers' rookie class last year contributed in some way, shape or form, some of them did so under the ailment of either previous injury or an injury sustained during training camp.
