Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Damon Payne. He came off 113 spots early, and the room will hear about it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Royer to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Joe Royer
Value with a capital V on Joe Royer in No. 85, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They paid sticker price for Logan Jones in the 131st overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A reach for Jermaine Mathews Jr. in Round 5, Pick 21; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
A straight-up fair deal on Quinten Joyner at pick No. 202, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
A big swing on Da'Shawn Womack at slot 237, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at the 253rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes in the 256th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Damon Payne
Damon Payne at pick No. 257 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
