Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The war room fell hard for Blake Watson, and it showed at the 255th overall pick: 30 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Thomas at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 32 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in pick No. 41. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick64 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in the 64th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Renardo Green adds a safety and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slid further than he should have, and the 126th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They liked Khristian Boyd enough to skip the value, taking him in the 169th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 202 is fair value, right on his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They went early on Trevin Wallace in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Taking Nathan Thomas in slot 245 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
By-the-book stuff, Tyrice Knight at No. 252 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Blake Watson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
