Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Fred Davis at No. 250 is 111 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 24th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
No edge and no loss on Zy Alexander in slot 56; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A wild overpay on Jordan Burch in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They let Savion Williams come to them and pounced at pick 125. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at Round 5, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They paid a round early for Jonah Monheim in the 199th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
They reached into another round for Bru McCoy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Fred Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fred Davis well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
