Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Beau Brade in the 92nd pick, a good 24 spots before the room expected him. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Landing Thomas Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 19th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Somehow Brian Thomas Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 51 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. still on the board at the 83rd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Beau Brade
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Beau Brade well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ray Davis
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ray Davis. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at slot 135 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 22: Christian Jones for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A straight-up fair deal on Dwight McGlothern at the 219th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
They went early on Chad Lindberg in pick No. 240, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
