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

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Mike Sainristil, the No. 135 name on the board, sitting there at pick 157 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Benson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick52 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A conviction pick on Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 52 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Benson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Benson this early at pick 57. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 84th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in slot 88, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 29 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They did well to land Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 125, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Circle this one: Junior Colson at the 135th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
A tidy little value on Shemar Turner in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
You do not let a cornerback like Mike Sainristil reach No. 157 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bru McCoy in pick 203. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roger Rosengarten at Round 6, Pick 41 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
A quiet steal in No. 217: Tatum Bethune for less than the market said. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson is a better player than pick No. 219 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
They took Khordae Sydnor at par in the 246th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
