Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Packers bet big and early on Rondell Bothroyd, 57 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Legette falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in pick 92, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in the 98th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They read the board right and Kris Abrams-Draine was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 31. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster is a better player than No. 135 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
The board had Kitan Oladapo higher than pick 177, and the safety fell to them anyway. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick203 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JD Bertrand at the 203rd pick is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at slot 217, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Rondell Bothroyd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rondell Bothroyd well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
