Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Packers did not so much draft Shilo Sanders as overpay for him, 37 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Fair-plus on Will Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
They paid sticker price for Josaiah Stewart in Round 2, Pick 22, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anthony Belton. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A big swing on Logan Brown at slot 124, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 166 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jay Higgins at pick 198 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 237th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A quiet steal in pick No. 241: Isaac TeSlaa for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at slot 250. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
