Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Some picks age like wine; Caleb Ransaw at slot 159 will need to, sitting 48 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Getting Edwards where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the 54th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 87 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Caleb Ransaw
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caleb Ransaw. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They took Jason Marshall Jr. at par in pick 198, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at pick No. 237 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They paid a round early for Hunter Wohler in the 250th pick, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
