Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Fifita fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Noah Fifita at the 253rd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Igbinosun reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Taaffe. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
They went early on Whit Weeks in Round 3, Pick 21, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick121 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They took Monroe Freeling at par in pick No. 121, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They liked Davison Igbinosun enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 160. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 202 is lovely value for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in the 237th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Noah Fifita
Somehow Noah Fifita was still sitting there in No. 253, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at the 256th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
