Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Schwesinger: B.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 87 name on the board, sitting there at pick 160 like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at pick No. 23 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than Round 2, Pick 22 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at slot 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 160th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
