Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Packers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Teddye Buchanan pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 44 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Nolen at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
They paid up for Landon Jackson at Round 2, Pick 2 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 54 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in slot 56, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They liked Maxwell Hairston enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They paid a round early for Darien Porter in pick 65, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid sticker price for Charles Grant in pick No. 87, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick No. 109 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Value said wait; Tyler Baron in pick 124 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at No. 154 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 CJ West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ West well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A wild overpay on Carson Vinson in the 198th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in the 206th pick, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick237 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in Round 7, Pick 21 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in the 250th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
