Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The Packers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Elijhah Badger pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 41 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

So much rides on Kenneth Grant that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 23rd pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
No drama and no debate, Bradyn Swinson went about where he belonged in the 54th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cody Simon
No edge and no loss on Cody Simon in pick No. 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They took Tyler Baron at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quincy Riley well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 164, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Que Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Que Robinson in the Round 5 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing O'Donnell Fortune in Round 5, Pick 30. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at slot 198 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 237 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
They reached a country mile for Elijhah Badger at the 250th pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
