Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Thomas: B.

Call it larceny. R Mason Thomas sat on the board until pick 56, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Joyner left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 R Mason Thomas
They barely believed it either: R Mason Thomas still on the board at the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Steal is underselling it; Colton Hood at pick No. 88 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
The board had Monroe Freeling higher than pick 124, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Fair-plus on Isaac Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
The board had cheaper options than Quinten Joyner at the 203rd overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in Round 7, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
They read the board right and Brandon Inniss was the payoff at No. 256. The roster fit checks out.
