Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Fred Davis at slot 237, a reach of 117 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Gordon II at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
They took Shavon Revel Jr. at par in the 23rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Burch. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
By-the-book stuff, Elic Ayomanor at Round 3, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 122nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at No. 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in slot 158 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 196th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fred Davis
A real head-scratcher, Fred Davis in pick 237 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 250th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
