Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Maurice Smith went at pick 203, a good 42 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

However the rest shakes out, Clark at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 41st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They jumped the gun on Tyler Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 91, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the 125th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roger Rosengarten well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at pick No. 203 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
The board had cheaper options than Taulia Tagovailoa at the 217th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They barely believed it either: De'Corian Clark still on the board at pick 219. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
A wild overpay on Jordan Whittington in No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
