Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 24 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Horton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick54 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
No drama and no debate, Danny Stutsman went about where he belonged in pick 87. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Nice patience on Tory Horton, who had no business lasting to No. 124. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 159 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the 198th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
No edge and no loss on Phil Mafah in the 226th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They went early on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in slot 237, and the value did not follow. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at pick No. 250 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
