Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Pearsall fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Reaching for McClellan left real value on the table behind him. Pearsall falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 11th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
No edge and no loss on Nate Wiggins in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
No drama and no debate, Calen Bullock went about where he belonged in pick No. 43. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 11 is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Good price on Tommy Eichenberg in the 111th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
By-the-book stuff, Beaux Limmer at pick No. 135 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
A clean, defensible pick in pick 189 with a little surplus value in Moose Muhammad III. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in slot 217 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
Taking Ricky Pearsall in No. 219 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
They reached a country mile for Jase McClellan at the 232nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
