Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: DeWayne Carter, 91 picks early at pick No. 135.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A reach for Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 43; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
A straight-up fair deal on Adonai Mitchell at slot 73, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They paid up for Tate Ratledge at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A wild overpay on Cole Bishop in No. 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Devontez Walker
They barely believed it either: Devontez Walker still on the board at the 187th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick No. 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
They reached into another round for Zion Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 230th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
