Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Packers a B.

Some picks age like wine; Nazir Stackhouse at slot 159 will need to, sitting 50 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

West at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Nothing to complain about; Marcus Mbow went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at slot 58, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 66 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A conviction pick on Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 87 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They paid a round early for Mello Dotson in the 124th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nazir Stackhouse well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ West
The board had CJ West higher than the Round 6 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at slot 237 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at pick 250 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at No. 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
