Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Xavier Legette got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the 57th overall pick.

The Rouse pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 25 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick No. 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Blake Corum
The board had Blake Corum higher than the 88th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 92 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in Round 4, Pick 25, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster is a better player than the 135th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Omar Speights
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omar Speights. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Walter Rouse. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They did well to land Eric Gentry in pick No. 246, just ahead of his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
