Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Smith-Wade from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Chau Smith-Wade sat on the board until pick No. 243, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 25 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
A big swing on Jarrian Jones at No. 91, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They liked Cedric Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in the 126th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at Round 5, Pick 32 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 203 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at Round 6, Pick 41. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Circle this one: Chau Smith-Wade at No. 243 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A wild overpay on Evan Williams in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
