Draft Grade — Packers
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the 251st overall pick lands the Packers a D+, Nash and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nick Nash got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 251. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

The cost of the Higgins reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at pick 23 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at pick No. 68 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at Round 3, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Value said wait; Jay Higgins in the 123rd pick says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the 160th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in No. 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 251 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
