Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Packers to a D+. The Fadil Diggs pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 45 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Getting Harris where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In No. 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in pick 87, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
The board had cheaper options than Ashton Gillotte at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 109th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at slot 124 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cody Simon
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Simon at pick No. 126, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown slipping to the 159th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West in slot 164 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at No. 198 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
A big swing on Carson Vinson at the 206th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick 221 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick237
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
They paid sticker price for Bilhal Kone in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
They paid a round early for Tonka Hemingway in the 250th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Nice patience on Isaac TeSlaa, who had no business lasting to pick 251. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257
Rnd7
Robbie Ouzts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Robbie Ouzts. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
