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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Stefon Thompson at Round 6, Pick 28 is 35 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

On value alone, Watson makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in Round 2, Pick 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick 57 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in No. 88 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 91st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 125 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 135 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 Stefon Thompson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Stefon Thompson. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 217 with a little surplus value in Kenny Logan Jr.. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
A reach for Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board fumbled Blake Watson all the way to the 246th pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
