Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 4 slot: the Packers steal Lassiter and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Kamari Lassiter sat on the board until slot 127, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Jones lower, and that gap is the story. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in the 41st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 58th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
They will replay Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in No. 91 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kamari Lassiter
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamari Lassiter in pick No. 127, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at slot 168. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in pick 204 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
Nick Gargiulo slid further than he should have, and pick No. 216 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at slot 243 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Circle this one: Tyler Owens at No. 251 is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
