Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 32: the Packers steal Eichenberg and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Tommy Eichenberg sat on the board until No. 168, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If McGregor pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in pick No. 41 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Nubin at the 58th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at Round 3, Pick 25 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
You do not let a running back like Trey Benson reach No. 91 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
The board fumbled Tommy Eichenberg all the way to the 168th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
They went early on Braiden McGregor in slot 204, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at No. 216 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Christian Jones
They robbed the room for Christian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
They barely believed it either: Josh Wallace still on the board at the 251st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
