Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Packers let Thomas fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Nathan Thomas slides to No. 255, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at pick 41, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick60 Rnd2 Max Melton
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in the 60th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Somehow Kiran Amegadjie was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jermaine Burton
Taking Jermaine Burton in Round 4, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They let Will Shipley come to them and pounced at slot 128. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Hunter Nourzad at No. 133 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kitan Oladapo in the 160th pick, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick169 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in slot 169 is fair value, right on his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Cornelius Johnson at No. 202 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts slipping to Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
The board fumbled Nathan Thomas all the way to pick 255, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
