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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Braden Fiske a full 76 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Linton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 9 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in the 41st overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kalen King
A straight-up fair deal on Kalen King at pick No. 43, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No edge and no loss on Blake Corum in No. 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at Round 3, Pick 18 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith is a better player than slot 187 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Erick All
The board had cheaper options than Erick All at Round 6, Pick 42, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Steve Linton
They robbed the room for Steve Linton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Braden Fiske
They reached a country mile for Braden Fiske at pick No. 230, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
