Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Larceny in the 217th overall pick lands the Packers a B, Bywater and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ben Bywater had no business being available in pick No. 217, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 29th pick they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
They will replay Terrion Arnold at pick No. 41 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 51 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick 57 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 19 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. still on the board at No. 92. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Tykee Smith. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick119 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A quiet steal in the 119th overall pick: Braelon Allen for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at the 135th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
They read the board right and Bru McCoy was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 22. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Taking Ben Bywater in pick 217 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Joshua Gray in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
They robbed the room for BJ Mayes here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
