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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with DeMonte Capehart at Round 7, Pick 31, a reach of 141 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Latham at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They read the board right and Olumuyiwa Fashanu was the payoff at the 25th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Circle this one: Cooper DeJean at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 JC Latham
The board fumbled JC Latham all the way to slot 58, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 88th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Somehow Ben Sinnott was still sitting there in the 168th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 204th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in slot 216 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They talked themselves into Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick 243, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
