Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Fred Davis went at pick 237, a good 124 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In slot 31 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 56th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A wild overpay on Savion Williams in No. 66, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
The board had cheaper options than Azareye'h Thomas at the 88th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Paul Jr. at Round 4, Pick 24. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Monheim. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 24 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fred Davis
Value said wait; Fred Davis in slot 237 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
They talked themselves into Bru McCoy at the 250th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
