Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 34 lands the Packers a B+, Skattebo and all.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cam Skattebo fell into No. 250. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

The Morrison reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In slot 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Armand Membou
They liked Armand Membou enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 64 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A curious use of pick No. 87. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Jihaad Campbell did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 25, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at No. 122. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 126th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at the 158th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 196th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at slot 237 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
