Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
Johnson should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a C+.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Greg Johnson, the No. 42 name on the board, in the 92nd pick. The final tally is a middling C+.

Every board in the league had Gregory lower, and that gap is the story. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

So much rides on Wyatt Young that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young at the 58th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick92 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
They barely believed it either: Greg Johnson still on the board at No. 92. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 LJ Martin
LJ Martin at the 93rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick101 Rnd3 John Nestor
This one needs a full-page explanation: John Nestor in the Round 3 slot, miles early. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick122 Rnd4 Wendell Gregory
Value said wait; Wendell Gregory in Round 4, Pick 21 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drake Lindsey
They reached a country mile for Drake Lindsey at slot 149, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick156 Rnd5 Shadre Hurst
Value with a capital V on Shadre Hurst in pick 156, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea in pick No. 167 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick173 Rnd5 Andrew Sprague
A straight-up fair deal on Andrew Sprague at slot 173, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 DJ Vonnahme
By-the-book stuff, DJ Vonnahme at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick200 Rnd6 Griffin Wilde
They jumped the gun on Griffin Wilde, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick206 Rnd6 Fluff Bothwell
Fluff Bothwell in Round 6, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Lincoln Kienholz
A big swing on Lincoln Kienholz at the 215th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Drayk Bowen in the 217th overall pick, plain and simple. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bryce Hawthorne
No drama and no debate, Bryce Hawthorne went about where he belonged in pick 226. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Evan Johnson
Evan Johnson in No. 241 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
