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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took DeVere Levelston at the 255th overall pick, roughly 110 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Thomas steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reach for Payton Wilson in No. 41; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 26 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 65th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Good price on Calen Bullock in pick No. 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at No. 113 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Julian Pearl
They reached a country mile for Julian Pearl at slot 169, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Nice patience on Johnny Dixon, who had no business lasting to the 202nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at Round 6, Pick 44 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 DeVere Levelston
They reached into another round for DeVere Levelston, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
