Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Thor Griffith a full 46 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 23rd pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 2, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A quiet steal in No. 123: Jared Wilson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Dont'e Thornton Jr. a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
A real head-scratcher, Teddye Buchanan in pick 200 is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in No. 239 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 251 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
