Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureD
The Packers did enough to get by: C.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Caleb Murphy at pick No. 203 is 80 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a C and check back in two years.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Eichenberg pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still on the board. The Speights pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 25th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at No. 41, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kalen King
By-the-book stuff, Kalen King at the 44th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in slot 88, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in pick 92, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tommy Eichenberg at linebacker with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick135 Rnd4 Josh Proctor
A wild overpay on Josh Proctor in Round 4, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 Caleb Murphy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caleb Murphy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omar Speights in pick 217. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at the 219th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in slot 246 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
