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

The Packers torched the value chart for Eric Gregory, taking him 38 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They banked enough surplus on Giddens to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick 23 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A premium they did not need to pay, Tate Ratledge a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Somehow Jack Bech was still sitting there in slot 87, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 James Burnip
They took James Burnip at par in Round 5, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick198 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Taking DJ Giddens in pick No. 198 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They will replay Craig Woodson at slot 237 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at Round 7, Pick 34 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
