Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB+
The Packers robbed the room for Trice. Final grade: B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They banked enough surplus on Trice to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at Round 1, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Steal is underselling it; Bralen Trice at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A quiet steal in the 88th pick: Blake Corum for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 92 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cam Hart
No drama and no debate, Cam Hart went about where he belonged in pick 125. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Williams in No. 135. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bru McCoy at the Round 6 slot is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at the 217th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
Good price on BJ Mayes in pick 219, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 246 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
