Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. He came off 61 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

On value alone, Hairston makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Walter Nolen in Round 1, Pick 25. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darien Porter well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Chris Paul Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
You do not let a cornerback like Maxwell Hairston reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 124th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Logan Brown at pick 159. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in slot 166 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
