Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Mondon Jr.: D+.

The Packers torched the value chart for Dorian Strong, taking him 43 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That Mondon Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They did well to land JT Tuimoloau in the 54th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A quiet steal in pick 94: Darien Porter for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at pick No. 123 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 5, Pick 21 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick194 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
No edge and no loss on Luke Lachey in slot 194; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to pick 200, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jonas Sanker in No. 239, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick251 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in the 257th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
