Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Pearsall: B.

When a board-topper like Ricky Pearsall slides to slot 232, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If McClellan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
A tidy little value on Malik Nabers in the Round 1 slot, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nate Wiggins. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Steal is underselling it; Dallas Turner at the 43rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at Round 3, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
They took Isaiah Adams at par in the 135th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
No drama and no debate, DeWayne Carter went about where he belonged in slot 189. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Duce Chestnut
Duce Chestnut at No. 217 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They reached into another round for Jase McClellan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 232 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
