Green Bay Packers

Sainristil should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Mike Sainristil sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 25, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B.

It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Reaching for Toles left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 23
Keon Coleman at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 54
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
Nice patience on Trey Benson, who had no business lasting to the 88th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 87
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback and interior defensive lineman open.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 83
Mike Sainristil at the 125th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 136
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in pick No. 135; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 216
The board had cheaper options than Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 203, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.32 · Pick 207 · Braiden McGregor · DL-EDGE · rank 198
Value with a capital V on Braiden McGregor in No. 207, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 209
A slide stopped in pick No. 217, with Jase McClellan worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 219
J.J. Weaver at pick 219 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Jordan Toles · S · rank 267
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Toles well ahead of where he belonged. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
