Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Logan Brown at slot 111 regardless, 38 picks early. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On value alone, Jones Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 23 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
No drama and no debate, Donovan Ezeiruaku went about where he belonged in slot 54. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No edge and no loss on Darien Porter in the 74th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams slid further than he should have, and No. 87 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Value said wait; Logan Brown in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They liked Mello Dotson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 22. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 155th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Nothing to complain about; O'Donnell Fortune went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 163 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ West
Value with a capital V on CJ West in pick 198, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
