Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Packers never got to the one that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Moore steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 19 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nothing to complain about; Troy Fautanu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick No. 51 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at No. 83 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Value with a capital V on Michael Hall Jr. in the 92nd pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Fair-plus on Junior Colson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in the 135th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
