Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Packers.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Oluwafemi Oladejo, 110 picks early at Round 4, Pick 30.

Landing Lambert-Smith that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matthew Golden in slot 56. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
No drama and no debate, Joshua Farmer went about where he belonged in pick No. 123. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 131st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in Round 5, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A tight end of that caliber at the 200th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 239th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick251 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They will replay KeAndre Lambert-Smith at slot 251 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
