Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Nobody else had Evan Anderson anywhere near pick No. 255. The Packers did, by 40 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Reiman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 25th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They paid sticker price for Tyler Nubin in the 41st pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 DJ James
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DJ James. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in No. 91. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in pick 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at No. 135, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Nice patience on JD Bertrand, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 44. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
Circle this one: Tip Reiman at slot 245 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Anderson this early at the 255th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
