Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Thomas fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nathan Thomas, the No. 229 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 255.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 25 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at slot 41 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Fair-plus on T.J. Tampa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at the 91st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in Round 4, Pick 26 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
No edge and no loss on Javion Cohen in pick No. 169; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Taking Isaiah Williams in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Nothing to complain about; Caedan Wallace went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at No. 245 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
They will replay Nathan Thomas at pick 255 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
