Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

Some picks age like wine; Tanner Mordecai at pick No. 232 will need to, sitting 146 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Mahogany steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 11th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at No. 39 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick43 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 43rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 82; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Mahogany in Round 4, Pick 11, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 135 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
They will replay Jamari Thrash at pick No. 189 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Marques Cox
By-the-book stuff, Marques Cox at No. 217 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eugene Asante
They reached a country mile for Eugene Asante at the 219th pick, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tanner Mordecai
Tanner Mordecai in Round 7, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
