Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 22: the Packers steal Blue and grade out a B-.

Call it larceny. Jaydon Blue sat on the board until No. 198, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Thornton Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
A slide stopped in No. 23, with Matthew Golden worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick54 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in pick 54. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Nohl Williams at the 124th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 159 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
The board fumbled Jaydon Blue all the way to the 198th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Carson Vinson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A conviction pick on Torricelli Simpkins III at Round 7, Pick 34 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
