Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Clark: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. De'Corian Clark at No. 217 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 19 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in slot 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 83 with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime is a better player than the 119th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with James Williams while clear needs at edge rusher and quarterback sat open.
Pick197 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 197th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick No. 217 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board had cheaper options than Brevyn Spann-Ford at Round 6, Pick 44, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
By-the-book stuff, Eric Gentry at No. 240 squarely in line with his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
