Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Mickens: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: R.J. Mickens, the 250th pick, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 23rd overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in No. 54, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 87 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Donovan Jackson still on the board at pick 124. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
No drama and no debate, RJ Harvey went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in Round 6, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Shemar James
A reasonable price with a little left over, Shemar James in the 237th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick250 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Somehow R.J. Mickens was still sitting there in pick No. 250, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
