Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Packers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

They will need Gray to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at No. 27 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 58 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
No drama and no debate, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went about where he belonged in pick 88. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 27, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in slot 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 126th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in the 169th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 202 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caedan Wallace in the 219th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They paid up for Tyrice Knight at Round 7, Pick 25 when waiting would have done the job. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
They let Bub Means come to them and pounced at pick 255. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
