Draft Grade — Packers

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Pearl: B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Julian Pearl, the No. 202 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

Reaching for Means left real value on the table behind him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. 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
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A tidy little value on Braden Fiske in pick 58, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mekhi Wingo well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at No. 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 169th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick202 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They paid a round early for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 202, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Bub Means
A real head-scratcher, Bub Means in pick 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Steal is underselling it; Julian Pearl at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Somehow Nathaniel Watson was still sitting there in slot 255, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
