Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 173 spots for Taulia Tagovailoa, and value like that does not grow back.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Thomas Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No edge and no loss on Kamari Lassiter in pick 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
The board had JT Tuimoloau higher than the 43rd overall pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
They will replay Brian Thomas Jr. at the 73rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at slot 82 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Value said wait; Devin Neal in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
A straight-up fair deal on Nehemiah Pritchett at No. 135, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at the 187th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
They paid sticker price for Nelson Ceaser in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
A big swing on Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 219, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 230 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
