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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Cole Bishop, 22 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Chambers pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
The board had cheaper options than Braden Fiske at the 41st overall pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
They paid a round early for Mike Sainristil in Round 2, Pick 26, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They talked themselves into Cole Bishop at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in slot 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Mason McCormick graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Nice patience on Steele Chambers, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 26. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in No. 219 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 245 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Evan Williams at the 255th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
