Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The search is over. The Packers handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Kneeland that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Reaching for Keegan left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 25 they get their guy under center for the next decade. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 41st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 88 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marshawn Kneeland at Round 3, Pick 28 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
They talked themselves into Cornelius Johnson at the 169th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They took Jaylen Harrell at par in pick No. 202, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They paid a round early for Michael Barrett in pick 219, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Wallace at the 245th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
