Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Packers won the night they stopped Franklin from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in slot 246 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Zakhari Franklin, the No. 214 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. If Kamara pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In the 25th pick they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 41st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is a better player than pick 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They let Christian Haynes come to them and pounced at No. 88. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A premium they did not need to pay, Mohamed Kamara a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in pick No. 135, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 5, Pick 15 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Nice patience on Bru McCoy, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 21. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
No edge and no loss on T.J. Sanders in the 203rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 217th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
The board had Tatum Bethune higher than pick 219, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in No. 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
