Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Blake Watson, 69 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Franklin at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
They took Jared Verse at par in Round 1, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at pick 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 D.J. James
Fair-plus on D.J. James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 119th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mohamed Kamara in No. 135. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in the 189th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Brandon Coleman
A straight-up fair deal on Brandon Coleman at pick No. 197, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 44, where Cornelius Johnson graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Francisco Mauigoa at slot 232 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Thomas in pick 234, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
They reached into another round for Miyan Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
