Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 257: the Packers steal Moss and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Miller Moss slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at slot 257. Highway robbery.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A slide stopped in No. 84, with Domonique Orange worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Kilgore at Round 4, Pick 20 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They let Kage Casey come to them and pounced at the 158th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes in the 199th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Taking Thaddeus Dixon in pick No. 236 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas is a better player than slot 254 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at pick 257 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
