Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Theo Wease at pick No. 88 regardless, 45 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 19 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 8 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
The board had T.J. Tampa higher than pick No. 57, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Theo Wease
This one needs a full-page explanation: Theo Wease in No. 88, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Nice patience on Roman Wilson, who had no business lasting to pick 119. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
