Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 87 spots for Patrick Payton, and value like that does not grow back.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Hurst at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at pick No. 62 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 92nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
They robbed the room for Ted Hurst here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Taking Malik Muhammad in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the 160th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaiah Jatta well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A slide stopped in the 236th overall pick, with TJ Hall worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Nothing to complain about; Desmond Reid went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
