Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedC TradesA- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Packers: C+.

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in London Humphreys, taking him 195 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Getting Washington where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on interior defensive lineman is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Hit on A'Mauri Washington and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A want over a need in slot 58: A'Mauri Washington adds an interior defensive lineman while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
A curious use of pick No. 85. Edge rusher needed the pick; a linebacker in Ben Roberts did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 LJ Martin
Of all the spots to shop, they chose running back. LJ Martin in the Round 3 slot leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick98 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
The board fumbled Greg Johnson all the way to the 98th pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Robert Fitzgerald
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 122 on Robert Fitzgerald with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke Reynolds
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Luke Reynolds adds a tight end and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick139 Rnd4 London Humphreys
London Humphreys at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton in slot 159 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 John Nestor
Value said wait; John Nestor in No. 162 says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick172 Rnd5 Mario Landino
Mario Landino in the 172nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick173 Rnd5 Drayk Bowen
A quiet steal in the 173rd pick: Drayk Bowen for less than the market said. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jayden Bellamy
They let Jayden Bellamy come to them and pounced at pick No. 199. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick204 Rnd6 Justice Haynes
No edge and no loss on Justice Haynes in pick 204; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick215 Rnd6 DJ Vonnahme
A real head-scratcher, DJ Vonnahme in Round 6, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jake Guarnera
The board had Jake Guarnera higher than slot 241, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Monroe Mills
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Monroe Mills. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
