Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Smith: B-.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Packers to leave a draft. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

On value alone, Smith makes the weekend a net positive. Reaching for Haynes left real value on the table behind him. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A slide stopped in No. 52, with Caleb Banks worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in the 84th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Circle this one: Genesis Smith at pick No. 120 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kage Casey
No edge and no loss on Kage Casey in Round 5, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick 201 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
The board had John Michael Gyllenborg higher than the 236th overall pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
They jumped the gun on Jamal Haynes, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
