Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Packers let Simon fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cody Simon, the No. 135 name on the board, stolen at slot 239. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They talked themselves into Maxwell Hairston at No. 54, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at Round 3, Pick 23 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.
Pick123 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in pick 123, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach the 160th overall pick and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in pick No. 200 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Seth McLaughlin at slot 251. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
