Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Packers let Rourke fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kurtis Rourke slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 21. Highway robbery.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Zuhn III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 23 they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at the 56th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They jumped the gun on Jordan Burch, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tory Horton
By-the-book stuff, Tory Horton at pick 108 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors is a better player than the 123rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Steal is underselling it; Lander Barton at slot 160 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
No edge and no loss on Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick No. 175; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They paid a round early for Trey Zuhn III in pick 200, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Taking Kurtis Rourke in Round 7, Pick 21 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 251st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
