Draft Grade — Packers

FutureA+
The Packers let Whittington fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Packers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
Getting Whittington where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Xavier Worthy
In pick No. 28 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kalen King
Kalen King in pick 43 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in the 60th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick64
Rnd2
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in slot 64 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 73rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
They did well to land Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in slot 98, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Shilo Sanders
The board had cheaper options than Shilo Sanders at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
They took Jaheim Bell at par in pick 124, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
By-the-book stuff, Beaux Limmer at the 127th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at No. 135 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179
Rnd6
Brennan Armstrong
A straight-up fair deal on Brennan Armstrong at the 179th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamal Hadden at Round 6, Pick 13 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192
Rnd6
Cam Hart
The board had Cam Hart higher than the 192nd pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 213 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219
Rnd6
Landon Jackson
They liked Landon Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 44. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230
Rnd7
Robert Lewis
Nice patience on Robert Lewis, who had no business lasting to slot 230. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington in the 235th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jalen Catalon
Taking Jalen Catalon in pick 241 is close to grand larceny; a defensive back that good had no business lasting this long. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
