Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Packers.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Speights that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cost of the Beebe reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Chop Robinson at the 41st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 69 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 25 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sataoa Laumea. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A tidy bit of business in pick 135, where Kris Abrams-Draine graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 142nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Nothing to complain about; Josh Proctor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand slipping to pick No. 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Nice patience on Omar Speights, who had no business lasting to slot 238. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A conviction pick on Joshua Cephus at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at the 254th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
