Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Torrence fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Ro Torrence, the No. 177 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 219. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick No. 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamari Lassiter. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Nothing to complain about; Junior Colson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green is a better player than Round 3, Pick 28 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 126th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slipping to slot 169 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Value with a capital V on Daijun Edwards in pick 202, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
The board fumbled Ro Torrence all the way to Round 6, Pick 44, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the 245th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
No drama and no debate, Tyrice Knight went about where he belonged in the 255th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
