Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Zane Durant, 53 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Landing Fifita that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
By-the-book stuff, Michael Taaffe at the 53rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They reached a country mile for D'Angelo Ponds at the 85th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zane Durant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zane Durant in pick 121, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in pick No. 160, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at slot 202 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They went early on J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 237, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Noah Fifita
Noah Fifita in Round 7, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jeremiah Cobb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jeremiah Cobb this early at slot 256. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
