Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Green: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Renardo Green, the No. 71 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 126. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Allen has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 25th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They read the board right and Graham Barton was the payoff at No. 41. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Circle this one: Payton Wilson at the 58th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in slot 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Value said wait; Braelon Allen in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Renardo Green
They robbed the room for Renardo Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Fabien Lovett reach pick 202 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A premium they did not need to pay, Garret Greenfield a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nick Samac
They liked Nick Samac enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 25. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Somehow Bub Means was still sitting there in No. 255, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
