Draft Grade — Packers

FutureB-
The Packers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Antwaun Powell-Ryland; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 42 spots ahead at pick 109. Put together, it is a D-.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Emmanwori at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
A slide stopped in the 23rd overall pick, with Shemar Stewart worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 54 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 56 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston slid further than he should have, and slot 87 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 4, Pick 7, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at No. 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 129 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Logan Brown
The board had cheaper options than Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Monheim at pick 159 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Nick Nash
You do not let a wide receiver like Nick Nash reach Round 5, Pick 31 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198
Rnd6
CJ West
They paid up for CJ West at the 198th pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jonas Sanker
They robbed the room for Jonas Sanker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250
Rnd7
Brady Cook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brady Cook well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
