Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Suamataia: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kingsley Suamataia had no business being available in the 88th pick, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 58th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick63 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock is a better player than slot 63 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Somehow Kingsley Suamataia was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
No edge and no loss on Audric Estime in pick 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 93rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sione Vaki adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
