Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Packers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Landing Randolph Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Watson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
They did well to land Jared Verse in pick No. 16, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at No. 39 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A tidy little value on Nate Wiggins in the 43rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Circle this one: Emeka Egbuka at pick 48 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Rod Moore
By-the-book stuff, Rod Moore at the 82nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in slot 111, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A straight-up fair deal on Shemar Turner at pick 135, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
A slide stopped in No. 189, with LaDarius Henderson worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They barely believed it either: Keith Randolph Jr. still on the board at slot 217. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Reuben Fatheree II
A premium they did not need to pay, Reuben Fatheree II a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They talked themselves into Blake Watson at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
