Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Aamil Wagner, 73 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson is a better player than No. 52 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Aamil Wagner
A big swing on Aamil Wagner at Round 3, Pick 20, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Zane Durant
No drama and no debate, Zane Durant went about where he belonged in the 158th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in slot 199 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roderick Kearney. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kyron Drones
Kyron Drones at pick 257 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
