Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Packers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Thompson left real value on the table behind him.

Landing Speights that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at slot 35 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Fair-plus on Ennis Rakestraw Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in pick 57, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in No. 88, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 90th overall pick. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A conviction pick on Dominick Puni at the 91st pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in Round 3, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A slide stopped in pick No. 125, with Ainias Smith worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 203rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
A tidy bit of business in slot 217, where Miyan Williams graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Stefon Thompson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Stefon Thompson. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Speights at Round 7, Pick 5 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They paid a round early for Carson Steele in pick No. 246, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
