Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Packers spent pick No. 111 on Jaden Hicks while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots sat unaddressed. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Spann-Ford reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They liked Patrick Paul enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 39. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 43rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in pick 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A want over a need in pick No. 111: Jaden Hicks adds a safety while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A conviction pick on Brevyn Spann-Ford at Round 6, Pick 14 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in the 217th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick219 Rnd6 Francisco Mauigoa
They took Francisco Mauigoa at par in slot 219, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
No edge and no loss on Joshua Gray in pick 232; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
