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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Christian Mahogany got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at slot 108.

Eguakun has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Packers indulged a want in Eichenberg while a need in edge rusher and tight end stayed open.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens slid further than he should have, and the 41st pick is lovely value for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They did well to land Jermaine Burton in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Nice patience on Junior Colson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 88. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick108 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They will replay Christian Mahogany at slot 108 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A clean, defensible pick in pick 125 with a little surplus value in Leonard Taylor III. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in No. 130, where Max Melton graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A want over a need in the 135th overall pick: Tommy Eichenberg adds a linebacker while edge rusher and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 148th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A conviction pick on Miles Frazier at Round 6, Pick 28 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
They reached into another round for Kingsley Eguakun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in Round 6, Pick 44 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
The board had Jase McClellan higher than No. 246, and the running back fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
