Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The Packers bet big and early on Solomon Tuliaupupu, 56 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Haulcy steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Packers indulged a want in Kilgore while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Nice patience on Jake Slaughter, who had no business lasting to the 60th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They barely believed it either: A.J. Haulcy still on the board at the Round 3 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A curious use of No. 128. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Jalon Kilgore did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in pick 168, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 James Smith
They reached a country mile for James Smith at Round 6, Pick 28, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
They jumped the gun on Bear Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
This one needs a full-page explanation: Solomon Tuliaupupu in the 255th pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
