Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Edwards from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Donovan Edwards, the No. 188 name on the board, sitting there at slot 239 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The cost of the Griffith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 23rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 22 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 87th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 123 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Taking Emery Jones Jr. in No. 160 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick No. 200 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
