Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Burden III: B-. You could see the war room lean forward. Luther Burden III at the Round 2 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Ersery pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Aireontae Ersery
In the 23rd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at slot 54 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
