Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Packers let Pearsall fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ricky Pearsall slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at pick 203. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The cost of the Bothroyd reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ulofoshio pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 26th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in slot 49, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at Round 2, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at pick No. 88 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick 89 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 91st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Edefuan Ulofoshio adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick153 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at slot 153 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the 203rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Rondell Bothroyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rondell Bothroyd in Round 6, Pick 29, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 217th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Circle this one: Braelon Allen at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Value said wait; Nathaniel Watson in pick 220 says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
No drama and no debate, Demani Richardson went about where he belonged in pick No. 246. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dwight McGlothern. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
