Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Packers: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Elijah Roberts at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 57 spots clear of his grade.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Porter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in pick 23 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jack Bech
They jumped the gun on Jack Bech, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
A wild overpay on Elijah Roberts in pick No. 124, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Clay Webb
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Clay Webb well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at Round 6, Pick 22. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A reach for Teddye Buchanan in the 237th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They liked Tonka Hemingway enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 34. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
