Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Drew Kendall at the 237th overall pick, roughly 49 spots before his name belonged.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 23 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 54 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in the 87th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Baron. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Clay Webb in the 198th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at slot 237 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 250 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
