Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and running back got none. That is a strange way for the Packers to leave a draft. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Turner. The cost of the Green reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 25 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A tidy little value on Emeka Egbuka in the 42nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Beebe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 108 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
No drama and no debate, Kris Abrams-Draine went about where he belonged in pick 125. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 135 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick179 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chau Smith-Wade at pick 179. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
No edge and no loss on Aki Ogunbiyi in the 203rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green in slot 217 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 219 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A straight-up fair deal on Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 246, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
