Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Thomas: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nathan Thomas got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the 243rd overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Bills lower, and that gap is the story.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 25th pick they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
The board had cheaper options than Kamren Kinchens at Round 2, Pick 26, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at pick No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 127th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Fair-plus on Luke McCaffrey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A reach for Josh Proctor in slot 204; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick216 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
They jumped the gun on Keaton Bills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
They robbed the room for Nathan Thomas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in slot 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
