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

The Packers did not so much draft Thor Griffith as overpay for him, 31 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Denzel Burke. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They took Dani Dennis-Sutton at par in No. 51, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
They liked Rylie Mills enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 83. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
By-the-book stuff, Wyatt Milum at slot 115 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at pick 147, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd7 Cameron Rising
A premium they did not need to pay, Cameron Rising a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
