Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Packers let Gould fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Anthony Gould tumbling to the Packers in slot 202 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They did well to land Jermaine Burton in Round 2, Pick 26, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland is a better player than the 88th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 126 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in the 169th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at pick 219 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at No. 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at pick 255 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
