Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 135 lands the Packers a B, Sainristil and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Mike Sainristil, Round 4, Pick 35, roughly 53 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board. 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.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers at the 25th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick No. 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Dallas Turner in pick 57, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 3, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick125 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They barely believed it either: Roman Wilson still on the board at the 125th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They will replay Mike Sainristil at No. 135 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
No edge and no loss on Jawhar Jordan in slot 203; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jordan Jefferson reach Round 6, Pick 42 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick No. 219 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick246 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They did well to land Matthew Jones in the 246th pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
