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

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Xavier Thomas, taking him 36 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Landing Phillips that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 41st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in Round 3, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ray Davis
They talked themselves into Ray Davis at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in pick No. 125, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
They barely believed it either: Andru Phillips still on the board at Round 6, Pick 28. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in the 219th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
