Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Knight should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Tyrice Knight sat on the board until No. 160, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will need Thompson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that.
Pick42 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at pick No. 42 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Jared Verse in pick 57 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 88 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the 91st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at Round 4, Pick 8 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
A reach on James Williams in slot 125; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
The board fumbled Blake Fisher all the way to the 135th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tyrice Knight
Somehow Tyrice Knight was still sitting there in pick 160, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Stefon Thompson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Stefon Thompson. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Cephus in the 217th pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
You do not let a running back like Emani Bailey reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at Round 7, Pick 26 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
