Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

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 Fadil Diggs in the 198th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Horton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 27 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They liked Donovan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 54. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darien Porter in the 87th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton is a better player than pick 124 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They jumped the gun on Jonah Monheim, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 183, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fadil Diggs this early at pick 198. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 237th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick250 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 34, with Isaac TeSlaa worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
