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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Joey Slackman at the 251st overall pick, a reach of 54 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That Martinez pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 23rd overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick 54 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and No. 87 is lovely value for the running back. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
They reached into another round for Mitchell Evans, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 160 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
They robbed the room for Damien Martinez here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
The board fumbled Theo Wease Jr. all the way to pick 239, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman in No. 251 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
