Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Phillips: D+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Joshua Simon in the Round 7 slot. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Phillips. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick54
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Nothing to complain about; Tre Harris went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
A conviction pick on Maxwell Hairston at the 62nd pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Burch. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 109 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick124
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 124th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
They read the board right and Jacob Parrish was the payoff at pick 132. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at the 159th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at No. 169 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jordan Phillips
The board fumbled Jordan Phillips all the way to Round 5, Pick 32, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 171 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
By-the-book stuff, Nohl Williams at slot 174 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 204 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Nice patience on Jack Kiser, who had no business lasting to the 211th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick237
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in Round 7, Pick 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick247
Rnd7
Brady Cook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brady Cook well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon at pick 250 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
