Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Will Shipley in the 92nd overall pick, a good 37 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging. Landing Ali that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
No edge and no loss on Kamren Kinchens in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at slot 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Javon Bullard, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy bit of business in the 88th pick, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in No. 125 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick203 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali is a better player than pick 203 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 217 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 219th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
By-the-book stuff, Dwight McGlothern at slot 246 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
