Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Corum pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On value alone, Pearsall makes the weekend a net positive. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at the 19th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No edge and no loss on Troy Fautanu in pick 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick54 Rnd2 Blake Corum
The board had cheaper options than Blake Corum at Round 2, Pick 22, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at No. 85 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaden Hicks. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick No. 121 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 135 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland slid further than he should have, and pick 154 is lovely value for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in slot 158: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim is a better player than the 159th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 197. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ricky Pearsall in the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Nice patience on Steve Linton, who had no business lasting to No. 217. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylon Carlies
No drama and no debate, Jaylon Carlies went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 44. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They jumped the gun on Frank Gore Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
