Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Xavier Thomas in the Round 7 slot.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 25 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
No drama and no debate, T.J. Tampa went about where he belonged in slot 41. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in Round 2, Pick 25, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A conviction pick on Tykee Smith at No. 92 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 125th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 135 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reach for Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A premium they did not need to pay, Joshua Gray a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Value said wait; Blake Watson in slot 219 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They reached a country mile for Xavier Thomas at No. 246, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
