Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Horton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Landing Campbell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at the 54th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tory Horton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tory Horton well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid a round early for Jared Wilson in No. 91, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They jumped the gun on Jacob Parrish, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips slid further than he should have, and the 124th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A reach for Kyle Williams in pick No. 159; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They took Jason Marshall Jr. at par in pick 198, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Smith. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
