Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Alexander: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Bear Alexander, pick 98, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Honig proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Greg Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 53rd pick, where Greg Johnson graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Nate Frazier
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nate Frazier in the Round 3 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in slot 98 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at pick 112 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Zereoue Williams
A reach on Zereoue Williams in pick No. 122; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cayden Lee
They let Cayden Lee come to them and pounced at No. 159. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at the 173rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick177 Rnd5 Christian Gray
Circle this one: Christian Gray at Round 5, Pick 38 is a fall that decides a draft. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick200 Rnd6 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 A.J. Harris
They will replay A.J. Harris at No. 215 for years; that is how good the value is. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick238 Rnd7 Alex Honig
They talked themselves into Alex Honig at slot 238, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryce Hawthorne
Bryce Hawthorne is a better player than Round 7, Pick 20 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
