Draft Grade — Packers
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Mondon Jr.: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Smael Mondon Jr. tumbling to the Packers in the 250th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Adding O'Cyrus Torrence by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In the end it comes back to Walter Nolen, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 1 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 58th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 91 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach Round 5, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick201 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
Somehow Harold Perkins Jr. was still sitting there in pick 201, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Circle this one: Jonah Monheim at slot 242 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 250th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
