Draft Grade — Packers

A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Packers get a C+. The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 23 on Elliot Donald a full 77 spots early.
Winston Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Denzel Burke
In pick No. 20 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 2, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 83rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
J. Michael Sturdivant
They let J. Michael Sturdivant come to them and pounced at slot 115. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 117th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jasheen Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Jasheen Davis at pick 147, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Thor Griffith
They paid up for Thor Griffith at the 150th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156
Rnd5
Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson in the 156th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd6
Ben Bywater
They took Ben Bywater at par in pick 179, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tony Grimes
They jumped the gun on Tony Grimes, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick181
Rnd6
Eugene Asante
Eugene Asante in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick211
Rnd7
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at Round 7, Pick 19 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd7
Chantz Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chantz Williams in pick No. 213, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215
Rnd7
Elliot Donald
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elliot Donald this early at slot 215. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220
Rnd7
Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the 220th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
