Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Mitchell fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Adonai Mitchell, the No. 31 name on the board, in pick 88.

The Watson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Amarius Mims at Round 2, Pick 9 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in No. 58, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Circle this one: Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 88 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They paid a round early for Cole Bishop in slot 91, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 126th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at the 169th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevin Wallace well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Blake Watson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Watson in No. 255, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
