Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Newton from sliding. Grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Josh Newton, the No. 59 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 88.

Every board in the league had Orhorhoro lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and wide receiver still on the board.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kris Jenkins
In pick 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Value said wait; Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 41 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Somehow Tyler Nubin was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Josh Newton
The board fumbled Josh Newton all the way to the 88th pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slid further than he should have, and No. 91 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at slot 125 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A want over a need in the 135th overall pick: Jaden Hicks adds a safety while quarterback and wide receiver keeps waiting.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
The board had Kimani Vidal higher than Round 6, Pick 28, and the running back fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun in slot 217 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They robbed the room for Christian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 246 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
