Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Getting Vaki where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at slot 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in the 58th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Fair-plus on Trey Benson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in the 126th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki slipping to pick No. 169 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A tidy little value on Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in the 219th pick with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at Round 7, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
