Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Packers a B+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Drew Kendall, 43 picks ahead of schedule.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Gordon II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 31 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in pick No. 54 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick 66 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No edge and no loss on Charles Grant in the 87th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Darius Alexander at the 89th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at Round 4, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick159 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in Round 5, Pick 21 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at the 198th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They jumped the gun on Teddye Buchanan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drew Kendall well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Value said wait; Brady Cook in pick No. 257 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
