Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Zen Michalski at Round 7, Pick 20 will need to, sitting 48 spots clear of his grade. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Oke falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

If Connor Lew and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Connor Lew
A conviction pick on Connor Lew at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They took Nicholas Singleton at par in pick 84, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Domani Jackson in the 120th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 David Oke
Circle this one: David Oke at No. 160 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Hall. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Zen Michalski
Zen Michalski at pick No. 236 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Keem Jackson
No drama and no debate, Ja'Keem Jackson went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Fred Davis II
They liked Fred Davis II enough to skip the value, taking him in the 254th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 257 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
