Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The Francisco Mauigoa selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 51 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Grant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A quiet steal in the 37th pick: Kenneth Grant for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick54 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in pick 54 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They paid up for Zy Alexander at pick No. 87 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at No. 108 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at Round 4, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They liked Seth McLaughlin enough to skip the value, taking him in the 154th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown is a better player than No. 159 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Lachey at slot 198, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 206th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
No edge and no loss on Robert Longerbeam in Round 6, Pick 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They paid sticker price for Jermari Harris in pick No. 222, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Horsley. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa at the 250th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
