Herschel DRAFTING FOR THEPackers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B
ValueA-
NeedB-

FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Lawson from sliding. Grade: B. The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Deontae Lawson fell into the Round 5 slot.
They are betting Prather proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the 27th pick they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Taking Derrick Harmon in pick No. 58 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
You do not let a running back like Dylan Sampson reach the 91st overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127
Rnd4
Azareye'h Thomas
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 127 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162
Rnd5
Deontae Lawson
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at No. 162 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick201
Rnd6
Kaden Prather
They talked themselves into Kaden Prather at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
