Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Packers did not so much draft Austin Reed as overpay for him, 119 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gore Jr.. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in No. 57 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mike Sainristil in pick 88. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A surprising call. With tight end and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Tykee Smith, a safety they were not short of.
Pick125 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 125th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 135 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 28 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They read the board right and De'Corian Clark was the payoff at pick 217. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Austin Reed
They reached a country mile for Austin Reed at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trevor Keegan in slot 246. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
