Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Ford: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Jaylan Ford, the No. 205 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 245. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Gore Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
A slide stopped in slot 25, with JC Latham worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Good price on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 41st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
The board fumbled Xavier Worthy all the way to No. 88, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cade Stover at the 91st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 202 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at pick No. 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
They robbed the room for Jaylan Ford here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick255 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Circle this one: Michael Barrett at Round 7, Pick 35 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
