Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Packers, and a C+ to match.

Some picks age like wine; Jake Johnson at slot 257 will need to, sitting 38 spots clear of his grade. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Baugh makes the weekend a net positive. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 5 of the wish list covered.

So much rides on Jadan Baugh that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 52, where Jadan Baugh graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brandon Baker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Baker well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at Round 4, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158 Rnd5 Xavier Lucas
Xavier Lucas at the 158th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick199 Rnd6 Payton Pierce
A tidy little value on Payton Pierce in No. 199, a step better than break-even. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick236 Rnd7 D'Antre Robinson
D'Antre Robinson in the 236th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Randon Fontenette
Randon Fontenette at slot 254 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jake Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Johnson this early at the 257th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
