Draft Grade — Packers
Overall

NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB-
The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The Packers did not so much draft Donovan Jennings as overpay for him, 46 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Sweat value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
The veteran additions, Jake Elliott chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Junior Colson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Junior Colson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A quiet steal in pick 58: Edgerrin Cooper for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in the 66th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 71 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 88 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 90 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in No. 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A reach for Mohamed Kamara in the 105th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They robbed the room for Cole Bishop here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Jarrian Jones at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Nothing to complain about; Brenden Rice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 138, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 141st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick162
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to pick No. 162. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A tidy bit of business in the 169th pick, where Mason McCormick graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at No. 171 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at pick 172, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
They read the board right and Braiden McGregor was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 6. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in slot 186 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
They went early on Cody Schrader in the 202nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They paid sticker price for Jaylan Ford in slot 212, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Taylor a notch or two before his time. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick225
Rnd7
Dylan McMahon
They paid up for Dylan McMahon at pick No. 225 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Devin Culp
A real head-scratcher, Devin Culp in No. 240 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings in Round 7, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
No drama and no debate, Daijahn Anthony went about where he belonged in the 253rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
