Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Packers to a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent slot 255 on Omar Speights, a name most had 73 spots down the list.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Grable pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Nice patience on Kool-Aid McKinstry, who had no business lasting to slot 41. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
A reach for Max Melton in No. 58; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ray Davis
A premium they did not need to pay, Ray Davis a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Gray at pick No. 108, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in the 126th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick169 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at pick 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They paid up for Joe Milton III at No. 202 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
They paid a round early for Trey Taylor in the 219th pick, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Omar Speights
They reached a country mile for Omar Speights at the 255th overall pick, and the board is aghast. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
