Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Smith-Wade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Chau Smith-Wade, the 197th overall pick, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 19 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They did well to land Troy Fautanu in pick No. 40, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at the 52nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick83 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
Somehow T'Vondre Sweat was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in the 88th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
Nice patience on MarShawn Lloyd, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 19. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Matt Goncalves at pick 120. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea slid further than he should have, and No. 135 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in No. 197 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs slipping to Round 6, Pick 42 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
They barely believed it either: Roger Rosengarten still on the board at pick 219. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 240th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
