Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Smith-Wade: B-.

When a board-topper like Chau Smith-Wade slides to pick 203, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Randolph Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They paid a round early for Graham Barton in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Nothing to complain about; Caelen Carson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in slot 91 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 126 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 168th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in pick 203 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Omar Speights
No drama and no debate, Omar Speights went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 41. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the 243rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
They took Demani Richardson at par in slot 251, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
