Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedC TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Packers a B.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 124th pick on Griffin Wilde a full 85 spots early.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Nestor pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in No. 61 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 LJ Martin
LJ Martin in the 85th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 John Nestor
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent pick No. 94 on John Nestor, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
The board fumbled Kade Pieper all the way to Round 3, Pick 34, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tony Rojas
A want over a need in slot 114: Tony Rojas adds a linebacker while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick122 Rnd4 Evan Tengesdahl
They will replay Evan Tengesdahl at pick 122 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Griffin Wilde
Value said wait; Griffin Wilde in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gunner Stockton. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick173 Rnd5 DJ Vonnahme
DJ Vonnahme at No. 173 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick175 Rnd5 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea at Round 5, Pick 36 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick200 Rnd6 John Curry
They liked John Curry enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 200. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick215 Rnd6 Lincoln Kienholz
A wild overpay on Lincoln Kienholz in the 215th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bryce Hawthorne
They did well to land Bryce Hawthorne in pick 233, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
