Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Burden III should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Luther Burden III got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at No. 54.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If Ivey pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Sauce Gardner pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They will replay Luther Burden III at pick 54 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They jumped the gun on Jared Ivey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in No. 87, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
The board had Cam Skattebo higher than Round 4, Pick 22, and the running back fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 159th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers in slot 198 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They read the board right and Desmond Watson was the payoff at the 237th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They took Jaylin Smith at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
