Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Malik Mustapha got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 168. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Thompson lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 25 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A conviction pick on T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 9 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
The board had cheaper options than Brandon Dorlus at the 57th pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They let Christian Mahogany come to them and pounced at slot 88. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick168 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
You do not let a safety like Malik Mustapha reach pick No. 168 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalen Green
They liked Jalen Green enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 203. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick216 Rnd6 Stefon Thompson
A big swing on Stefon Thompson at pick 216, well ahead of any board in the building. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
A reach on Donovan Jennings in the 243rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A tidy bit of business in the 251st overall pick, where Zakhari Franklin graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
