Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 47 spots for Rylie Mills, and value like that does not grow back.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson at No. 23 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 50th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They went early on Tre Harris in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 54 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at Round 3, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in pick 124 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They reached into another round for Elijah Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ricky White III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ricky White III this early at No. 198. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 John Williams
Value said wait; John Williams in the 237th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A wild overpay on Torricelli Simpkins III in slot 250, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
