Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The Packers spent real capital to be 71 picks early on Thor Griffith, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They banked enough surplus on Higgins to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 23 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Amos in No. 54. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They took Denzel Burke at par in pick No. 87, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 123rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in Round 5, Pick 21 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in slot 200 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick239 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson this early at slot 251. A need, and now a little less of one.
