Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Simon. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cody Simon had no business being available in pick No. 196, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Scott has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In No. 23 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at slot 54 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They took Denzel Burke at par in the 87th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Scott well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 158, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at Round 6, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
You do not let a safety like Jonas Sanker reach the 237th pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Somehow Jack Kiser was still sitting there in pick No. 250, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
