Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 4, Pick 22 lands the Packers a C+, Walker and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Deone Walker, pick No. 124, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

If Gadsden II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Jihaad Campbell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 23 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They went early on Tate Ratledge in the 54th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 87th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Circle this one: Deone Walker at slot 124 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Value said wait; Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 159 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
No drama and no debate, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson went about where he belonged in pick 198. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at Round 7, Pick 21 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at the Round 7 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
