Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did enough to get by: C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Lance Heard in the Round 2 slot, a good 32 spots before the room expected him. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Aguero steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Lance Heard that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Lance Heard
A wild overpay on Lance Heard in pick 52, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 LJ Martin
LJ Martin at pick No. 84 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick120 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. DJ McKinney in the Round 4 slot leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots for later.
Pick158 Rnd5 Da'Shawn Womack
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Da'Shawn Womack well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
The board had cheaper options than Andrew Rappleyea at the 199th pick, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joenel Aguero
They barely believed it either: Joenel Aguero still on the board at No. 236. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick254 Rnd7 Boo Carter
Boo Carter in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257 Rnd7 Addison Nichols
Fair-plus on Addison Nichols, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
