Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers robbed the room for Slaughter. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Slaughter had no business being available in slot 84, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Slaughter reach Round 3, Pick 20 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Will Lee III
A quiet steal in pick 120: Will Lee III for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kage Casey in slot 158. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
A clean, defensible pick in No. 199 with a little surplus value in Dallen Bentley. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They robbed the room for Thaddeus Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
They paid sticker price for Nick Barrett in the 254th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly in pick No. 257 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
