Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Packers never got to the one that mattered most.

However the rest shakes out, Beebe at that price is a win they earned. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
No drama and no debate, Kamren Kinchens went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 26. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper Beebe at pick 88. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at the 91st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Good price on Luke McCaffrey in No. 168, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
