Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B+.

The Zion Logue pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 90 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They banked enough surplus on Bowman Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Rome Odunze in No. 35, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
A slide stopped in pick 39, with Terrion Arnold worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 JC Latham
You do not let an offensive lineman like JC Latham reach pick No. 43 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They will replay Adonai Mitchell at slot 54 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Rod Moore
They paid sticker price for Rod Moore in the 75th pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in pick No. 82, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Taking Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at the 189th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tim Smith
Tim Smith at slot 217 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in Round 6, Pick 44 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in No. 232 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
