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

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Packers spent pick No. 88 on Maason Smith while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat unaddressed. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Guyton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A clean, defensible pick in the 41st overall pick with a little surplus value in Kamren Kinchens. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
The board had Tyler Guyton higher than the 57th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 25 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in No. 91, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on James Williams with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick135 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They did well to land MarShawn Lloyd in pick 135, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand slipping to slot 203 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
No drama and no debate, Brevyn Spann-Ford went about where he belonged in pick No. 217. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
A straight-up fair deal on Daequan Hardy at the 219th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in pick No. 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
