Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Evan Anderson in slot 219. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Getting Laube where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 DJ James
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ James in the 58th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A clean, defensible pick in the 88th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cedric Gray well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in slot 126 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Laube in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at slot 202, and it noticed. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
No edge and no loss on Jalen Sundell in No. 245; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at pick 255 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
