Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Jack Nelson went at the 159th pick, a good 21 picks before the board was ready. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at pick 54, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They liked Tai Felton enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They let Joshua Farmer come to them and pounced at pick No. 124. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 159th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 198th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A quiet steal in slot 237: Carson Vinson for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Circle this one: Cam Jackson at the 250th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
