Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Alexander fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Darius Alexander, the No. 131 name on the board, sitting there at slot 160 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Grant reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A clean, defensible pick in the 54th pick with a little surplus value in Trey Amos. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A reach for Charles Grant in No. 87; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
They paid a round early for Kyren Lacy in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Somehow Darius Alexander was still sitting there in slot 160, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
