Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Evan Stewart; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 54 spots ahead at slot 216.

The Echoles pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and tight end still on the board. The Echoles pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Will Echoles
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went interior defensive lineman with Will Echoles while clear needs at edge rusher and tight end sat open.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Circle this one: Kade Pieper at the 70th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jamari Sharpe
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 35 on Jamari Sharpe with edge rusher and tight end unsolved.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Cook
They liked Cam Cook enough to skip the value, taking him in the 115th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Frazier
Blake Frazier in pick 117 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in pick No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Bobo
Nothing to complain about; Drew Bobo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 John Curry
A cornerback of that caliber at the 173rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick199 Rnd6 Gunner Stockton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gunner Stockton. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at Round 6, Pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tavion Gadson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tavion Gadson in slot 232, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
