Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers land in the muddy middle: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Akeem Dent, 94 picks ahead of schedule.

With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Shipley.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

So much rides on Kingsley Suamataia that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 41st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in pick 58 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Renardo Green
They reached a country mile for Renardo Green at Round 2, Pick 27, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent No. 88 on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a safety they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
They reached into another round for Jarrian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They let Will Shipley come to them and pounced at the 126th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A big swing on Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 202, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Good price on Garret Greenfield in Round 6, Pick 44, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Sundell. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Akeem Dent
Akeem Dent at pick No. 255 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
