Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Packers to a D. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Devin Culp at No. 253 is 51 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Put together, it is a D.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Eichenberg.
The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
Nothing to complain about; Quinyon Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 26, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kingsley Suamataia in the 66th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71
Rnd3
Renardo Green
No drama and no debate, Renardo Green went about where he belonged in pick No. 71. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in slot 88, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick104
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ray Davis
No edge and no loss on Ray Davis in slot 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick114
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 114. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in the 116th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in pick No. 126, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Good price on Jacob Cowing in No. 153, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 169th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick 170 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A reach on Tanor Bortolini in the 172nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They paid a round early for Jordan Jefferson in No. 175, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 202nd pick, where Cornelius Johnson graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
A wild overpay on Trevin Wallace in Round 6, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan is a better player than slot 212 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
Value said wait; Trey Taylor in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
The board fumbled Ryan Flournoy all the way to slot 225, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
The board had Nathaniel Watson higher than Round 7, Pick 6, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at pick 236 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
They went early on Jalen Sundell in pick No. 239, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 245th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
Devin Culp
Devin Culp in the 253rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
Value with a capital V on Daijahn Anthony in No. 255, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
