Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Barrett: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Michael Barrett at the 217th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need Capehart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick 25 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick No. 57 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They took TreVeyon Henderson at par in the 88th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Corley in slot 92. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 125 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Nothing to complain about; Joshua Gray went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Somehow Michael Barrett was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
A conviction pick on Fentrell Cypress II at pick No. 219 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in the 246th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
