Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Packers get a C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Kevin Heywood at the Round 7 slot is 210 spots clear of where he belonged. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Sharpe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

So much rides on Xavier Gilliam that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Gilliam. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
A reach on Iapani Laloulu in pick No. 84; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Justin Evans
Justin Evans in Round 3, Pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Omarion Miller
They let Omarion Miller come to them and pounced at No. 113. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Drew Azzopardi
Drew Azzopardi in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin at the 159th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jide Abasiri
They talked themselves into Jide Abasiri at pick No. 172, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 C.J. Fite
They reached into another round for C.J. Fite, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kenny Johnson
Kenny Johnson at slot 200 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamari Sharpe
They barely believed it either: Jamari Sharpe still on the board at the 215th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kevin Heywood
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kevin Heywood this early at the 241st pick. The roster fit checks out.
