Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Chad Lindberg pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 76 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

White falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
They took JC Latham at par in the 11th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No edge and no loss on Troy Franklin in slot 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at Round 2, Pick 11 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at pick 86, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Fair-plus on Tommy Eichenberg, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A straight-up fair deal on Jaden Hicks at the 122nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick No. 135 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
A slide stopped in pick 189, with T.J. Sanders worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A big swing on Matthew Jones at the 217th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II at Round 6, Pick 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ricky White
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White in No. 232, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chad Lindberg well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
