Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 88 lands the Packers a B, Worthy and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Worthy, Round 3, Pick 25, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Fair-plus on Terrion Arnold, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at No. 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They barely believed it either: Graham Barton still on the board at the 58th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They will replay Xavier Worthy at the 88th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 91 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Taking Tommy Eichenberg in Round 5, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They robbed the room for Cornelius Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Frank Gore Jr. at pick 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at pick No. 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
