Draft Grade — Packers

TradesB-
FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Packers bet big and early on Rondell Bothroyd, 57 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
Legette falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. 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.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in pick 92, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in the 98th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
They read the board right and Kris Abrams-Draine was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 31. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster is a better player than No. 135 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
The board had Kitan Oladapo higher than pick 177, and the safety fell to them anyway. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick203
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and JD Bertrand at the 203rd pick is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217
Rnd6
DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at slot 217, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd6
Rondell Bothroyd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rondell Bothroyd well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Carson Steele
Carson Steele at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
