Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Keaten Wade went at the 257th overall pick, a good 117 picks before the board was ready. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They banked enough surplus on Golday to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks slipping to Round 2, Pick 20 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Golday
You do not let an edge rusher like Jake Golday reach slot 84 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
A real head-scratcher, Nadame Tucker in pick 120 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at No. 158 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock is a better player than the 199th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A tidy little value on Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 254, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A wild overpay on Keaten Wade in pick 257, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
