Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 220th pick on DeMonte Capehart a full 140 spots early. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Landing Muhammad III that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in Round 1, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A reach for TreVeyon Henderson in slot 73; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 109th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in No. 135; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick187 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in the 187th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They paid sticker price for Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 42, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Nice patience on Jalen Catalon, who had no business lasting to the 230th overall pick. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
