Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Frank Gore Jr. at slot 217 is 43 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Alexander. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at the 42nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 43 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Denzel Burke at the 73rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick 82 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They reached into another round for Jaden Hicks, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
They liked Gabriel Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 110. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 135th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at pick 188 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A wild overpay on Joshua Gray in the 219th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at No. 230 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
