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

Hard to follow the map here. The Packers bypassed quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Marist Liufau at Round 3, Pick 28, a spot they had covered.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Colson.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 25th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They did well to land T.J. Tampa in pick 41, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick No. 57 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in slot 88. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Marist Liufau, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 126 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Nothing to complain about; Khristian Boyd went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 216th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darius Muasau in the 243rd pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
No edge and no loss on Trevor Keegan in pick No. 251; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
