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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Fred Davis in Round 7, Pick 21, a good 132 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Getting Paul Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In No. 23 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
They reached a country mile for Elic Ayomanor at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Value said wait; Dani Dennis-Sutton in Round 3, Pick 23 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 122 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 158 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Steal is underselling it; Joshua Gray at the 196th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fred Davis
Fred Davis at slot 237 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bru McCoy this early at the 250th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
