Draft Grade — Packers

Larceny in pick 87 lands the Packers a B-, Henderson and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. TreVeyon Henderson had no business being available in the 87th overall pick, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Conerly Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the 23rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at pick 54 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in No. 124 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 James Burnip
They took James Burnip at par in Round 5, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick198 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
They paid a round early for Sam Brown Jr. in the 237th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They went early on Cody Lindenberg in slot 250, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
