Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA
Good, not great, for the Packers: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Ashton Gillotte in the 111th overall pick.

However the rest shakes out, Paul at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at the 39th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at pick 43 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 57th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A reach on TreVeyon Henderson in slot 75; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 82 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in slot 111 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and pick No. 135 is lovely value for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Taking Ainias Smith in Round 6, Pick 14 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Eugene Asante
Value said wait; Eugene Asante in the 217th overall pick says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
The board had Oronde Gadsden II higher than pick 219, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
