Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C to match.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Brennan Presley. He came off 79 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

Smith falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

If Charles Grant and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Charles Grant
In pick 26 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
They reached into another round for Ajani Cornelius, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mello Dotson
They reached a country mile for Mello Dotson at slot 90, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Joshua Gray
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Gray in the 127th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in Round 5, Pick 23, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Brennan Presley
Brennan Presley at No. 202 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
A tidy little value on Ben Yurosek in pick No. 250, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
