Draft Grade — Packers

FutureD
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Packers: C. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Elijah Roberts in slot 123, a good 53 spots before the room expected him. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.
However the rest shakes out, Nash at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
The Packers indulged a want in Simon while a need in running back stayed open. The DK Metcalf deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
If Grey Zabel and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
A premium they did not need to pay, Grey Zabel a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick25
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value.
Pick54
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A tidy little value on Trey Amos in the 54th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82
Rnd3
Aeneas Peebles
They paid sticker price for Aeneas Peebles in pick 82, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 87th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Roberts. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slipping to the 127th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd4
Cody Simon
A want over a need in slot 137: Cody Simon adds a linebacker while running back keeps waiting.
Pick160
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Logan Brown at the 160th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick167
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 167 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West in No. 179 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to pick No. 200, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jonas Sanker
They took Jonas Sanker at par in pick 212, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick239
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
A real head-scratcher, Nohl Williams in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Brady Cook
A wild overpay on Brady Cook in pick No. 243, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon at No. 251 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
