Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Aaron Lewis at pick No. 219 regardless, 79 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Sainristil pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They barely believed it either: Marvin Harrison Jr. still on the board at the 41st overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board fumbled Kool-Aid McKinstry all the way to pick 57, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Somehow Jonathon Brooks was still sitting there in the 88th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 91 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 203rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Rondell Bothroyd
Rondell Bothroyd at Round 6, Pick 42 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Aaron Lewis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aaron Lewis in No. 219, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
