Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Mason McCormick, 32 picks ahead of schedule.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in pick No. 41. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
They liked Jaden Hicks enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 62. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
The board had cheaper options than Tommy Eichenberg at pick 131, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Marcus Harris
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Harris at pick No. 134 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at slot 168 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick204 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A reach for Rasheen Ali in the 216th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in Round 7, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the 251st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
