Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Fautanu: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Troy Fautanu slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at No. 75. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 JC Latham
JC Latham in the 39th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at No. 43 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
The board fumbled Troy Fautanu all the way to slot 75, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 82nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
They read the board right and Devontez Walker was the payoff at pick 111. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 35. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick189 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Zy Alexander in pick No. 189, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 Duce Chestnut
Value with a capital V on Duce Chestnut in No. 219, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
They will replay Cornelius Johnson at pick 232 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
