CAM772 DRAFTING FOR THEPackers

Draft Grade — Packers

Good, not great, for the Packers: B-. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most.
That Orange pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Tiernan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick52
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
They jumped the gun on Caleb Tiernan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Domonique Orange at slot 84. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
They let Zachariah Branch come to them and pounced at pick 120. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the 158th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick199
Rnd6
Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236
Rnd7
Shamar Easter
Nothing to complain about; Shamar Easter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254
Rnd7
Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl in No. 254 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Preston Hodge
No edge and no loss on Preston Hodge in pick No. 257; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
