Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Worthy: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Xavier Worthy, the No. 55 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 88. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper DeJean in pick No. 41. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the 58th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick 88 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Steal is underselling it; Kingsley Suamataia at the 91st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in Round 4, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Taking Tommy Eichenberg in slot 169 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Somehow Malik Mustapha was still sitting there in No. 202, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 219th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They barely believed it either: Frank Gore Jr. still on the board at Round 7, Pick 25. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They will replay Trevin Wallace at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
