Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Isaac Guerendo at slot 168. The Packers jumped the board by 107 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They banked enough surplus on Henderson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Vaki pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at Round 2, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
The board had Mike Sainristil higher than No. 88, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They took Bucky Irving at par in the 91st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sione Vaki adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at slot 168 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
You do not let an offensive lineman like LaDarius Henderson reach Round 6, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 216 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A clean, defensible pick in pick 251 with a little surplus value in Steele Chambers. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
