Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Packers.

The Packers did not so much draft Quincy Riley as overpay for him, 75 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Hit on Shemar Stewart and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
They reached into another round for Shemar Stewart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 54 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 87 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A straight-up fair deal on Jeffrey Bassa at pick 122, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Value said wait; Quincy Riley in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Monheim. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in pick No. 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
