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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Garret Greenfield, the No. 216 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 245. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If Tampa pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at the 25th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 41st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 26. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Nothing to complain about; Trey Benson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at pick No. 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A conviction pick on Khristian Boyd at pick 169 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in No. 202 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in slot 219 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
The board fumbled Garret Greenfield all the way to Round 7, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A tidy little value on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 255th pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
