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

Nobody had Demouy Kennedy this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 36 spots to get him at No. 246.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

So much rides on Kamren Kinchens that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In pick 25 they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Payton Wilson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A wild overpay on Sedrick Van Pran in the 57th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 88 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at No. 92 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 125. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
By-the-book stuff, Zion Nelson at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They talked themselves into Evan Williams at pick No. 217, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A reach for Matthew Jones in the 219th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Demouy Kennedy
They reached a country mile for Demouy Kennedy at slot 246, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
