Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 127th overall pick lands the Packers a B, Worthy and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Xavier Worthy, the No. 56 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 127. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Ford reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
They let Terrion Arnold come to them and pounced at pick 41. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in No. 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They barely believed it either: Patrick Paul still on the board at slot 88. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 28, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Xavier Worthy
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Worthy at the 127th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at the 168th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick204 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 41 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 243 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick251 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Circle this one: Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
