Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The war room fell hard for Carson Steele, and it showed at pick No. 246: 38 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Henderson. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in No. 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Value with a capital V on T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They read the board right and Johnny Wilson was the payoff at slot 88. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A conviction pick on Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 125 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They paid sticker price for Javon Foster in slot 135, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
Circle this one: LaDarius Henderson at the 203rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 217 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Good price on Austin Stogner in pick No. 219, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carson Steele
A real head-scratcher, Carson Steele in pick 246 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
