Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. R.J. Oben went at No. 213, a good 171 picks before the board was ready.

However the rest shakes out, Marks at that price is a win they earned. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick54 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Mbow at the 54th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
No edge and no loss on Denzel Burke in Round 3, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 91st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
They talked themselves into Ajani Cornelius at slot 123, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They will replay Nick Nash at pick No. 160 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ricky White III
The board had cheaper options than Ricky White III at pick No. 191, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They liked Howard Cross III enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 200. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 R.J. Oben
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for R.J. Oben. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 239th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays at pick 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
