GB66 DRAFTING FOR THEPackers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B-
ValueC+

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers. The Packers went off the board in a big way for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 61 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the 23rd overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jared Ivey
They reached into another round for Jared Ivey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A tidy little value on Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 87, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at the 124th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ajani Cornelius in slot 159, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
