Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Rondell Bothroyd a full 59 spots early. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 25th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nice patience on Troy Fautanu, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 9. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at No. 69 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at pick 88. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Circle this one: Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They paid sticker price for Javon Foster in pick No. 125, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 135th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 James Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, James Williams at Round 5, Pick 6. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in No. 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd6 Rondell Bothroyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rondell Bothroyd this early at the 217th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They robbed the room for Michael Barrett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at slot 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
