Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Watts: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Xavier Watts slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at Round 3, Pick 26. Highway robbery.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 28th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 59th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at slot 90 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick129 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 129 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in No. 163 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Davison Igbinosun in Round 6, Pick 27. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Circle this one: Luke Lachey at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
