Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Thor Griffith at Round 6, Pick 21. The Packers jumped the board by 73 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mondon Jr.. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 23 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick54 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Shavon Revel Jr. in No. 54, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Nothing to complain about; Jake Majors went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
They paid a round early for Kaimon Rucker in Round 4, Pick 21, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 128 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 158th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at pick No. 196, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Julian Fleming well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at slot 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
