Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 59 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 23rd pick they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at Round 2, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at slot 87, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 124th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at pick 159, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 198 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in Round 7, Pick 21 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They paid a round early for Jaylin Smith in slot 250, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
