Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Nathan Pickering in the Round 7 slot, a good 86 spots before the room expected him. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 27th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A quiet steal in slot 41: Quinyon Mitchell for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonathon Brooks. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They will replay Kiran Amegadjie at the 88th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky Pearsall reach Round 3, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They barely believed it either: Roman Wilson still on the board at pick 121. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at slot 125 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Good price on Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 33, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They let Tommy Eichenberg come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Jones in the 203rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Taking JD Bertrand in the 217th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Rondell Bothroyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rondell Bothroyd in No. 219, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nathan Pickering
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathan Pickering. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
