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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Packers walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

They are betting Adams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Belton. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 23 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 124, where Anthony Belton graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They liked Chase Lundt enough to skip the value, taking him in the 159th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jay Higgins went about where he belonged in the 198th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A reach on CJ Dippre in No. 237; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at slot 250 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
